Fake Everything
by tran via jane - Inverse Tmes Sunday, Aug 5 2018, 10:53am
international / poetry / post

don’t talk to me about ‘fake news,’
a Trump invention that has gained media traction

the most dangerous and insidious fake
dissemination is, ‘fake intelligence’
from our ‘trusted’ intelligence agencies

no one has yet died from fake news
in contrast to the million or more
innocents slaughtered by fake intelligence

do u remember, WMD, aluminum tubing
for use in producing nuclear weaponry, or the worst
of them all, Blair’s, Saddam could mount an attack on the UK
in 45mins -- give me a break! All bullshit, FAKE!
traced back to the intel agencies of the USA, Australia
and the UK, coincidentally, the three nations that
comprised the ‘coalition of the willing’ [criminals]

yes, ‘willing’ to kill millions with their lies
and not one former leader of the three has been held to account, why?
‘fake accountability’ of course,
which indicates ‘fake law’
notwithstanding justice has as much substance
as helium

and of course we have ‘fake democracy’ where people vote
for representation and get puppets of the minority ruling elites instead;
indeed, fake news is simply a late comer to a fake world

social media has the integrity of a whore,
educators teach fake history and religionists kneel
before fake gods

but ‘she’ll be right mate,’ just adjust to the new fake world
where nothing is real

fantasy and fiction are more real than culture
and all you can talk about is fake news,

doctors prescribe fake medicines that cure nothing
but make huge profits for drug companies

'fake news,' don’t make me laugh, my eyes are wide open
and have been for years
so settle it now and realise
that EVERYTHING is fake

however, what is real are the bullets and bombs
that kill as a result of fake intelligence

it’s a shame the law is fake as we could then
haul all those responsible before the courts, which are also fake,
the Hague for instance,
and mete out some REAL punishment
and possibly restore our world to REALITY,
the meaning of which word has been lost
with the minds of those that believe anything today

now fuck off before i clock you,
and i can assure you that you would feel it
because it issues from a real fist

the most meaningful word in the english language today
is MEANINGLESS!

but i have saved the worst for last,
you see, i know that writing this is futile
as fake people are reading it, yes you

if you were real you would not tolerate the current status quo
for a minute, you would have remedied the universal 'fake' plague
infecting the entire WORLD the instant it started

now quick, reconnect to the media drip-feed and re-enter your fake world,
this piece is too close to the REAL to be comfortable
