A Modern Internet World Of Disinformation Poem by Terence George Craddock

there are philosophers who have written
more than mediocracy can read or understand
philosophers stand as busts in grand historic rows
words echo with philosophy wisdom of ages
in a modern internet world of disinformation
philosphers are lined up coconuts at a coconut shy
animal farm taught bleat bleat sheep
line up with paid for balls in hand

thrown as hard as they can
trying to knock down truth justice
freedom of speech wisdom words
all philosophy timeless wisdom accumulated down
philosphers wisdom falls to mass taught sheep
like coconuts knocked down at coconut shy

this is a traditional game of carnage
divide conquer is always power play rules
