The Void of Post Truth
Tad with a sorcerer's illusion
Comes post-truth dressed with false allusion
That can be dispensed with
Like old man's denture-teeth.
Welcome to the post-truth's false season.
_____________
Truth, that can be easily dispensed with (it so seems) is fast evolving to be an illusion, creating a void without a way forward. Lies can be suitably twisted to look like truth. Political faith and belief has acquired audacity to trump reason. A stage has set in for players with power to perform… and find a way comfortably in a void.
