Post Truth 2016
P Post-truths are words designed to mislead us
O Obviously, yet "facts" that are appealing.
S Some are political; some petty; why fuss?
T Talking points survive, despite de-bunking.
T Time has come to bid post-truth a goodbye;
R Right thinking minus intent is old as dirt.
U Under devilish distortion, the author of lies.
T "Truth is absolute," our Creator sighs.
H He knew about word play before Eve ever heard,
S "Surely God did not mean you would die."
