So oft I have assayed on men
to signal them and light their ken
with wink of future weal or woe
ere starting the new dominoe

So oft I have composed to sight
and tried to speak and aid their fight-
But so seldom after eye's reception
is a ghost not called deception

By their natures they are fate
that they can't fully dictate
And I see the poisonous blaze
but lesser can bad habits raze

Change of growing haste grows cursed
the heart of time, more prone to burst
If man will never heed "slow down"
I fear the future wears no crown

But ghosts are ever in this less
as busy bodies faster press

I liked your Ghost perspective.....  perhaps more should heed and take note.
