Words and the world passing by; how it sings to me; how I clamour back.
NaPoWriMo Day 2: Fake News
We share and we share and we share
But we don’t care
Where the words came from
Which mouth spewed the rhetoric
That currently resonates
With our own bitterness
Which bilious belly
Heaved and hurled this ‘news’
Onto the world stage.
We snap and snarl and chomp and bite
Only caring that we are right
Regardless of
Fact checking
Snopes snooping
Hoax hopping
Sensationalist snot
Drip drip dripping
From noses stuck in
Everywhere.
When did we forget
How to be kindly critical?
