Facts Or Fictions
Headline news proclaims disasters
Man made climate change the fear
But fewer die now, caused by weather
Death rates falling year by year
There are data that are false
There are data that are true
There are data that have little
Effect on me and you
All white people deeply racist
Causing darker folks to cower
Once a fact of observation
Now a myth some use for power
There are data that some use
to play upon our fears
That when they are viewed, apply
Not to now but yesteryears
Hockey stick of global warming
Caused by man’s CO2 burst?
Cause/ effect turned on its head
It was warming that came first
There are data that seem crazy
Giving logic an affront
When inspected it turns out
The events were back to front
Teenage girl uneducated
Filled with arrogance and rage
Says to all the world: “How dare you!!”
And is treated as a sage
There are data well reported
As important in what’s what
But we find out when we look
That they matter not a jot
Portrayed as a white supremacist
‘Ain’t black’ with points he made
But look there at his photo
Face a rich and dusky shade
When the data is presented
You’ll reach wrong conclusions, doubt
If the information given
Leaves important factors out
If you always would speak sooth
That you may be forever right
You neglect the greater truth
Total right is out of sight
Reason is not binary
But of infinite degree
