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.. :>) 9-13-2022

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.

lol I sure hope so, though I did get visited by an alien once and he asked me to give him a rhyme, and I said no, unless you got a dime? lol, I am not much for listening to what others say, I got my own news lol thank you for the smile today, Joseph, your poetry was endearing, :)

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.
