Fake News

I have read love cures all ills and when someone professes their love, it means they will be yours forever. I am now alone. The magazine wrote that a friend is forever and they will stick by you when everyone else abandons you. I now have fewer friends. Poems have praised the power of prose but some poems turn me into a crybaby or a dreamer. Books have said the lady at the entrance to New York welcomes all who hunger for freedom and comfort. Than we ban people. I’ve read that my taxes will be less as we go forward and good paying jobs are around the corner. Making less than five years ago. I keep reading that war is necessary to protect our freedom. We send our sons and daughters to fight for control of the oil. I have read the Russians are our friends and they did not messed in our elections. I read the findings from an investigation and wonder. I now know what Fake News really means.

Thank you harry. Yes, I have shed tears reading some of the poems here. I also have read poems that make me dream of other worlds.
