Measuring the Lunatic Fringe
Measuring the Lunatic Fringe
By Elton Camp
On the Internet their wacky beliefs are found
Although they have very long been around
The lunatic fringe has a range of belief
Confused and frustrated, they suffer grief
They grow angrier with each passing day
And insist all the more on things they say
Crazy, naïve, gullible or just uninformed
Against all reason and sense they’ve stormed
Birthers, conspiracies, 911, or assassination
Or Illuminati or freemasons control the nation
For every event and each incident they can
Easily discern operation of some Master Plan
Each wild claim they assert they can prove
And to believe their words, it does behoove
Some of them are simply deliberate deceivers
The nonsense is very real to some believers
Yet, governmental lies the public’s trust lost
A growing lunatic fringe is the terrible cost
Its indignation will likely continue to grow
The end result nobody can possibly know
