Conspiracy Theories

Conspiracy Theories

Don’t be naïve do you really believe
That man could walk upon the Moon.
Just theatrical Cold War propaganda,
Do I look like your common buffoon?

Satellite pictures cheap shot trickery,
The Earth that we know is all flat.
Look at the maps both ancient and new
Spherical, we’d fall off and that’s that.

Quantum mechanics, Big Bang theory,
For Heaven’s sake do me a favour.
Thirteen point eight Billion years ago,
Milky Way and yummy Galaxy flavour.

Religion is the answer deity divine,
Finding ways to control populous mass.
Unquestioned devotion for final reward,
Heavens gate and a special gilt pass.

Giant creatures roaming the plains,
Millions of years before ascent of man.
Simply pictures made up in glossy books,
Entertaining Jurassic Park movie fan.

Climate change lies great Millennium scam,
Line the pocket of Mister green politics.
Ministers and Presidents will never agree,
Which of them is guilty of crass dirty tricks.

Dodo, Quagga and Flightless Great Auk,
Giant Woolly Mammoth and Sabre Tooth.
They aren’t extinct for they didn’t exist,
Conspiracy theories messing with the truth.

I like the entire poem, but especially this part: "Religion is the answer deity divine, Finding ways to control populous mass. Unquestioned devotion for final reward, Heavens gate and a special gilt pass." I have to say it is delightful to think everything is a conspiracy. Smile.
