It’s true, they have learned that the fine art of making the truth is to get enough people repeating the lies. And there are lies within lies . Right now in the Information Age the new war is the war on information. It’s source its veracity and its interpretation.

Hi Susan, exactly so, thanks for your comments. Apologies for the very late reply, but I am SSI (Severely Sight Impaired /Registered Blind) and missed seeing this until now! :)

Thanks Daniel. Unfortunately, I can't disagree with you. Most truths are submerged in a swamp full of lies. Unfortunately, I can only see things getting worse with AI now starting to get in on the act ~ Clive :(

Thanks for your comment. As I read somewhere: 'I am only one person, how can I change anything. Said 8 billion people!'. This poem is my very modest contribution towards change, but if most of the other 7,999,999.999 also did a very modest something... ~ Clive :)
