Blurring the Lines

The fakification of modern life
Is almost complete
As AI and disinformation
Crowd out the real and true.

If you didn’t see and do it
How can you even trust
It ever happened
Or at least how they say.

Like the old Emperor and his new robes
But in reverse
Now it’s the old calling out the lies
While the young just accept the illusion.

To the young the blurred lines will just be
What has always been
The nature of a social construct
Always in process, always under review.

What is the difference between man and woman,
Or right or wrong
Left and Right?
Whatever you want it to be.
