Sonnet To Society

Plagued by agents of disinformation,
smearing objectivity with a spoof,
as if a lot of followers equals confirmation, 
a lie told often enough becomes truth.
Rumours of the Swine and depopulation,
aliens, free energy and speculation,
aur silence and tolerance bring ramification,
we need to stop for a day of contemplation,
it does not take long to realise who control’s each and every nation.
Beneath the facade of illusion,
the puppet master reaps with his confusion.

WAKE UP...tick tick tick... ... ...

I hear you, Lance! I especially like the last three lines and the tail. Your sonnet expresses well the sentiment of helpless "Just one man..." may feel in the place called helpless indifference. I like to stick my head in the sand and hope that the powerful leaders are good hearts that work for the right as they best see it. And I pray that they SEE!!! I feel less pain that way. Excellent write. Lovingly, Dane Ann
