Selling Doubt Poem by Richard Jarboe

Selling cigarettes sell doubt of the hurt,
Selling sugar sell doubt of dessert,
Selling anything sell doubt about health,
Selling hedge funds sell doubt about wealth.

Selling doubt when invading a land,
Helps us doubt the enemy at hand,
Selling doubt about how to survive,
Sells weapons to keep you alive.

Selling doubt buys you some time,
Selling doubt is not considered a crime,
Selling doubt can build you a wall
Even when you're not clear what it's for.
