I saw a dragon in the sky today

by Possummagic

I spied a Dragon in the sky today,
and there's no convincing me that it wasn't real.
Out of every fake report, this has to be true.
When you truly examine the evidence,
the world is an insane place.
Every Dragon reporter, is considered quite crazy, and
It doesn't seem to matter that;
The evidence seems occasionally conclusive.
Some nutcase gives a false statement and ruins it for everyone.
And what would it take to make it the truth?
Who's to say it's not all in the mind?
We think that for the here and now,
there will be real evidence one day.
Conditions will need to be optimal because,
it's simply not fact, that Dragons exist.
I don't doubt that you will agree, that
we need to think realistically.
I doubt that not even If you had eternal life, and
images flooded your jumbled brain.
You wouldn't say
I saw a Dragon in the sky today

( now read it upwards)

This particular poem reads downwards then is read from the bottom to the top. I wonder if you'll notice that you're reading opposing stories.
