Fake news – the buzz that
Eats away at our wellbeing
Attacking our thought processes and
Ruining our sense of perspective.
Of course, we could switch off
For the sake of humanity.
Each of us has responsibility –
Vandalism of our inner resources
Endangers the human species
Ruling us as much as any despot.
Young brains are malleable
Twisting into shapes that destroy
Hope and create depression and despondency.
I have no love of the status quo, but
No positive change is built without conscious foundation.
Goodness must be nurtured, and this takes focus and love.

Fake news’ seems to have taken on a life of its own. It used to mean palpably untrue. Now it seems to mean something that’s true but unpalatable to subject being reported on
Either way, it creates confusion – surely the ultimate aim?
Indeed it is.
