The Post-Truth Era Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
The Post-Truth Era
Tad with a sorcerer's illusion
Here comes truth, dappled its dimension,
That can be dispensed with
Like an old man's tired teeth.
Welcome it to post-truth's feigned season.
___________________________________________________
Truth it seems is fast evolving to be an illusion that can be easily dispensed with. Lies can be suitably twisted to look like truth. Political faith and belief has acquired audacity to trump reason. A stage has set in for players with power to perform.

The post-truth era, usually bitter, but is better than millions of years passed in lies. A wonderful poem by a philosopher poet.
Thank you Akhtar Jawad, for 'Philosopher poet', but I doubt if I can bear the burden of this heavy weight. You are kind.
