Alternative World View

How do we agree on the facts, when we can't agree on what the facts are?

Sitting here listening to what some voters swear is the truth.

They believe things that never really happened, but do

or will they listen to reason when the truth is revealed?

Hell no, they think the liberal media is out to conceal

what actually happened, they know because Fred from Possum,

tweeted about it, then others repeated it, and Fred's not dumb.

You know, it's scary that people only listen to, that they're more apt

to believe Fred from Possum, than the main-stream media; it's the great untapped

Truth Machine that is our the friends and like-minded neighbors,

who are patriots, and will fight for the truth with AK-47's and sabers.

Some people a freaked out and frightened of things that will never come to pass,

because somebody tweeted about such a dire, doom-filled forecast.

And, they get all their news from, and only believe one station,

which has their own agenda, and their news is sometimes a fiction creation.

******

How did we get here, this parallel universe, this alternate reality?

Where someone won't believe what they hear or what they see

from the main stream media, even shown video proof,

and, in fact, are really likely to hit the roof,

and scream about voter fraud, voter tampering by the liberal wing,

instead of living in the fact-based world the rest of us live in?

How are you supposed to counter-act those crazy beliefs?

Seek shelter from the ignorant storm, to find a moment's relief?

I'm afraid there's no answer, when we have such a different vision

of the truth, and the world; all I see is the inevitable collision.
