Groomed to never see it coming, we wake the past in restless sleep; Our two cents grounded in quicksand; Poor spelling, no checking, it’s a virus; It tends to appeal to the worst in us, emotions cause us to fall for wordplay; September 1939 type headlines in 2023. Click bait war based on hearsay. Echo chambers manipulate current events, escalated at once by infiltrating bots; There’s nothing we can trust to be fact chasing solar flares that will never relax; Unable to sift though deep fake for truth, our reality has become discombobulated; Decisions based on he said she said, repeating fluff from a game of ‘Telephone’. September 1939 type headlines in 2023. Click bait war based on hearsay. Left blowing up all the superfluous into a toxic self-destructive storm; We need a clean renewed source, something pure that we can believe in; Burn it down if we can’t make it better. I promise you we can beat this system. September 1939 type headlines in 2023. Click bait war based on hearsay.
