Deepfake, deepstate Undercut, undermine Dismiss the real Engender doubt Distort and blur Sow suspicion. Smoke and mirrors Layer upon layer Contempt for certainty Deceit masquerading As honesty. Options are shut down Imagination fails and Directness is challenged. Smooth language is slated as Serving the common good. But is underhand, two-faced Belonging to a cabal of darkness. Bring back a world Truthlike, truthful. And own a world Not uniform, but unified. Tossed among endless images Fleeting, flashing, flickering We strive to stay on an even keel Believe our eyes and ears And find a path through A forest of lies.
