Fake News | Mia Gordon
I get more than a little tired of
Hearing erroneous “facts” promulgated
By fake news outlets, the very
Same ones that label real news fake.
I don’t understand how people can
Be so consumed by fear and anger
That they believe anything that
Reinforces their baser instincts,
No matter how much those false beliefs
Hurt others, completely forgetting
The most basic humanity.
It will be a great day when our society
Begins to value truth over money and
The shadowy figures that get rich
From misinformation are called out
For their falsehoods and rendered
Irrelevant because truth and
Rationality have prevailed.
