“Would that it were so simple.”
— Hail, Caesar! (2016)
Why can’t truth be simple,
not twisted on the tongue
to storm it with conspiracy.
What I wish to believe
doesn’t mean it’s true.
In this day of gaslight,
buzz words, and deflection
I must consider who profits
from discord…Who dances
on disunion.
If I only play follow the leader,
I can’t complain if I go over the cliff.
