Conspiracy Theories

Hitler got out of the Third Reich living in South America until today Pope John Paul was murdered foul his coffee was poisoned all the way Kennedy was shot twice from the grassy knoll not from the Book Store bay Armstrong didn’t walk on the moon no-one can survive in the stars away 9/11 was not Al Qaeda it was the CIA stretching its muscles all along Elvis did not die in Grace-lands he’s still around singing all his songs The Roswell saucer crashed that night the aliens they will still disavow The Malaysian jet did not fall to the ground they have it on an island now Bigfoot, Yeti and the Yowie still prowl the wilderness walking without a care Atlantis survived and is still a factor in ocean ship disappearances there. I hear all these legends and start to wonder how we could agree The world is as we know and all those things were never meant to be I was told once that you’d be surprised at what you cannot see There are many things in this world that would be a surprise to me Pausing to ponder what it means would send a bloke a bit insane Still all the explanations that are given for some seem a bit inane Sometimes I would hope that some of these strange wondrous things Would be correct and in believing them there would be for me no strings Still if everyone believes them no History channel programs would there be Sitting home at night what would you watch, from the room you would flee! © Paul Warren Poetry
