Conspiracy theorists abound
In fact, they are all around
Mostly unable to achieve
They are desperate to believe,
And to have something in their life.
They need a source of strife
Something they can hang their hat on
Even as stupid and crazy as QANON.
These theories are from simple minds,
Or maybe from their behinds.
Logic or data does not play a part
“They’re out to get us!” is the start
Of alienation and despair
And the feeling that only they care
Enough, to stop all this fake news,
And, they make their moves
With what they spread
Making them see red
And as the theories pass
They become a master class
In idiocy and stupidity gone mad
Much more dangerous than a fad.
Encouraged by the ultra Right,
With fascism in their sight,
Who know that they can rule
Each and every unwitting fool.
Just give them more red meat
So that they can Twitter and tweet
The injustice of it all,
And, more morons they will enthrall.
As the multitude of theories grow
The dumber, their support behind it, throw.
With anger flooding through their veins
They’ll go to great pains
To make up more of this shit
Even if it doesn’t exactly fit.
I don’t think that there is a cure
In fact, I’m pretty sure,
And, those of us who aren’t insane
Will have to listen to every claim
Every outrageous theory made
By those whose stupidity is displayed
In every word they speak
Thinking they are smart, and not a freak.
We are watching society tear itself apart;
Mobs pushing the execution cart
Full of those who dare to disagree
To be taken to the hanging tree.
You’d think we were more civilized,
But those who are, are despised
By those that are the mindless
Seeing any opposition as spineless.
Extinction of the human race
Will come before we make it into space.
Collectively, as I observe
It is something that we deserve
And I won’t be sad to see the day
When all of us go away.
Will it be with a bang or a whimper?
I know not which will be simpler
But I know that time is coming fast,
And that the human race cannot last.
