Facts? What Are Those?

Repeat a lie often enough
And people will believe it.
Make confusion your primary goal,
And no doubt you'll achieve it.

Circulate a far-fetched notion.
It's simple. Go on; try it.
Put a bogus story on Facebook;
The gullible will buy it.

Trump, when caught in a lie, attempts
To come off sounding pious
As he knits his brows and purses his lips
And yells, "Media bias!"

Forget little jabs or attacks
That are foolish and maybe unwise;
Here we are talking fabrications--
In short: boldface lies.

How easy it is to stretch the truth,
Until someone sees through it!
But once the damage has occurred,
It's so hard to undo it.

In our information age
It must be antiquated
To be honest and truthful when
Facts are overrated.
