Out and about one
sunny day
I tripped over
alternative facts
And fell into the
rabbit hole
I plunged into an
Orwellian nightmare
Where ignorance was
strength
And a pompous idiot—
Who reflected reality
with a narcissistic mirror—
Targeted the
well-read man with censorship
My breathing labored as
the weight of corrupt lies
Constricted my lungs
While I struggled to
climb out of the pit
To seek sunlight and
truth
His lunacy became
the norm
And my
intellectualism was cursed into damnation
