Are Zombies Real?
“Some of my little friends
“Papa says,
Sir Ninja,
your little friends are wrong.
They have been affected by the
skepticism of a skeptical age.
They do not believe
except they see.
They think that nothing can be
which is not comprehensible by
their little minds.
All minds, Sir Ninja,
whether they be men’s or
children’s are little.
In this great universe of ours
man is a mere insect, an ant,
in his intellect,
as compared with the
boundless world about him,
as measured by the intelligence
capable of grasping the whole
of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Sir Ninja,
there are Zombies.
They exist as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist,
and you know that they abound
and give to your life its highest
beauty and joy.
Alas!
how dreary would be the world
if there were no Zombies!
It would be as dreary as if
there were no Sir Ninjas.
There would be no child-like
faith then, no poetry,
no romance to make tolerable
this existence.
We should have no enjoyment,
except in sense and sight.
The eternal light with which
childhood fills the world
would be extinguished.
Not believe in Zombies!
You might as well not
believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to
hire men to watch in all the
graveyards on every full moon
to see Zombies,
but even if you did not see
The Walking Dead,
what would that prove?
Few people see Zombies,
but that is no sign that there
are no Walking Dead.
The most real things in the
world are those that neither
children nor men can see.
Did you ever see fairies
dancing on the lawn?
Of course not,
but that’s no proof that
they are not there.
Nobody can conceive or
imagine all the wonders there
are unseen and unseeable
in the world.
You tear apart the baby’s rattle
and see what makes the noise
inside,
but there is a veil covering the
unseen world which not the
strongest man,
nor even the united strength
of all the strongest men that
ever lived,
could tear apart.
Only faith, fancy, poetry, love,
romance, can push aside that
curtain and view and picture
the supernal beauty and
glory beyond.
Is it all real?
Ah, Sir Ninja,
in all this world there is
nothing else real and abiding.
No Zombies!
Thank God!
They sometimes wake,
and they walk,
A thousand years from now,
Sir Ninja,
nay,
ten times ten thousand
years from now,
they will continue to
scare Heck out of people
since childhood.
