BELIEVURE

                    Believure is behavior driven by
                    Convictions, not by well-established facts
                    And rational proceedings wherein lie
                    Assurance of the rightness of our acts.

                    Believeure is the cause of many errors
                    And some with catastrophic consequence
                    Affecting often innocent wayfarers,
                    The victims of wayward experiments.

                   The proper way is to let science rule,
                   Proceeding cautiously by reason’s guides;
                   Irrational belief will lead a fool
                   To where his fantasy with truth collides.

                       Belief may serve when truth cannot be known,
                       But you’ll be living in a twilight zone.
