Conspiracy Theories

Conspiracy theories are nothing new
 I'm sure you know a few
 But they can take you down a dark maze
 And used by politicians to manipulate you

 The moon landing was said to be fake
 With wind and shadows on the make
 Was it just wishing on a star
  And faked to win the cold war

 JFK conspiracy theories still persist
 Was it Oswald that did it, or the mob
 Or was it the goverment who killed him
 In a sinister plot

 Covid 19 has many conspiracy theories
 First they said it was a hoax contrived by the media
 But it was a deadly virus
 That killed millions

 There is one about the Denver Airport
 Said to be the Illuminati's headquarters
 Where lizard people live
 Beneath the buildings

 The most famous one is that the Earth is flat
 Even though proven that its not
 Yet people still believe that
 Are people crazy or what?

 There is the theory that the election was stolen
 And Italian satellites changed people's votes
 And on and one it goes
 Right down the rabbit hole
 
 There is the one that Poetry Soup is run by aliens
 Trying to steal our thoughts
 Don't go running for cover
 That one's just a joke.. :>)

Joseph, they may be found in any imaginable location. Certain individuals are blessed with a lot of spare time but harbor less than honorable intentions. The number of apparently savvy individuals who fall for the genuine conspiracy theorists' hoax mystifies me to no end. It's shocking how much misleading news is floating out there.

hey this would have been a hilarious poem if you said the last thing was NOT a joke! I understand that conspiracy theories can be taken too far, but in a few of these mentioned, there are some grains of truth, methinks.

Theories are vague truths or unclear facts, whereas, facts are really facts. (People will believe anything). Smiling at your last thought. :) I don't think those aliens would be interested in my thoughts, so I don't have to worry about taking cover. My best to you, Joseph. :) Hugs, Brandy

This world is filled with corruption and all they think of is getting money without much effort.

Thanks for your much-needed poem, Joseph. I am astonished by the number of otherwise intelligent people who are conned by serious conspiracy theorists. The amount of misinformation out there is startling. Your poem is right on.

They are everywhere. Some people have a lot of time and not so honest motives. Well said, Joseph.
