Reality hack, alternative facts
December 18, 2017
Since when did truths
Become alternative?
Ain’t that a fine
“Howdy ya do”
And what about
The words we speak
Do their meanings
Come in “alternative,” too?
As in “up” is “down”
“In” is “out”
And good old
“Red” is “blue?”
It defeats the purpose
Of language
In which case you
Might not know,
“I’m huntry en I liken peas
A dishes lee dainty sang witch…”
In this
Alternative universe
Our Earth is flat
New thin is fat
And racists never
Lynched a black
If that foolishness ain’t enough
Here’s an interesting fact-
According to Texas school books
Dixie’s slaves were immigrants!
This is not right
Just stop it please
Alternative facts?
There’s no such thing…
(Unlike Bigfoot
Or the girl from “Ring”)
Fiction is fiction
Fact is fact
And never the twain
Shall be the same
If someone tells you
Otherwise-
They’re playing
The “mind f*ck” game…

Absolutely!
But that is surely not the beginning of these ” white washed tales to curb the question!” As you have touched on the matter, if I may elaborate sir? I believe not one Confederate statute or references should be torn down, no where, least the question is never asked.
What happens in 20, 40, 60 years from now when people start to question the questioning? As if slavery never existed!
Rewriting school books and demolishing statute’s is just another process of a bigger American lie later to come.
Excellent subject… That we’ll never have a dialogue on!
But I believe the subject is so embarrassing to this country, that they would have to put their”save the world” attitude on hold and come to the table. And that, is never going to happen!

Yes, it’s hard to present as the World’s moral compass when you won’t admit your own flaws. Thanks for reading and commenting. I appreciate you!
