Disinformation by E. Hughes
Disinformation
is information of a most insidious kind.
It disguises itself as truth
to render us blind.
It preys on our fears
plants itself in our minds
rinse and repeat
two thousand and twenty times.
It provokes us to anger,
sowing distrust
spurring us to acts
of wanton bloodlust.
It is not what we seek, but often what we find.
Disinformation
is information of a most insidious kind.
An Inconvenient Sacrifice
Someone told us
about a disease
that spread itself
through a gentle breeze
or sometimes a cough
or even a sneeze...
and enters the lungs
through the air we breathe
left us yearning for loved ones
and much bereaved.
For some it left them
much aggrieved,
so we hung our heads,
and pretended it left
as it choked, grabbed
and stole our breaths.
The rich gets richer
the dead gets deader
we sacrificed little
to make it all better
An inconvenient sacrifice
let us hope it fades
until it drags us
into unmarked graves.
