Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Fighting Falsehood

     Fighting falsehood with mere truth is
         a losing proposition
     The public clamors for the popular position 

     The underdog has it all his way today
         yelling that America is evil paves the way
     no matter that it’s pure, unadulterated fiction 

     Soon all law-abiding folks will be imprisoned
         as anarchy realizes its wildest ambitions

sara Etgen-Baker September 7, 2025 at 5:32 PM your lines encapsulate my feelings and fears. The public clamors for whatever's popular or whatever creates fictional conflict. I just don't know how we got here. I fear anarchy as well....we were (and perhaps still are) too close for my comfort
