Poetry Day: Conspiracy Professional

Let’s be honest. You know who this is and where he’s from.

(I wrote this after getting into a week long discussion with a conspiracy theorist who was all over the place. By day 4, I was just along for the ride and trying to think of a way to disappear. I like coming up with mysteries and small conspiracies, but I don’t go that deep. Mostly because I think those who get into seats of power are too arrogant and situationally stupid to keep everything a secret.)

I hear you talking

Screaming

At an alarming rate

About the truth we miss

That you must show us

And lead us into light

Your fervor is amazing

Like the greatest fire

Barely kept controlled

As if keeping these secrets

Would be your death

As you gloriously explode

Still I find it tiring

And every slightly wasteful

To sift through all your posts

They are complex

Mazes of facts and falsehoods

That lose me as I read

Maybe I prefer

To be among the sheep

Blissful in my simple way

Just trying to survive

Ignorant of power schemes

Designed to hold the darkness

There is a reason I hold back

From following your call

I have a nagging question

It has settled in my brain

Drowning any urge I had

To believe all that you say

What is your plan

After the curtain falls

And the villains are usurped

The public’s eyes are cleared

Seeing lies within the sun

And shattered trust along the ground

There is the other truth

You might not want to say

It has held from ancient times

Topple a ruling liar

And another liar rises

To start the game again

I still commend your fervor

To breach the illuminati wall

Yet I will not follow

Without a plan

Based not on blinding hope

To keep us from the hands of anarchy
