When

When

Contributed by Fred Glover

When did the world get so
Stupid, so dangerous,
So divided into violent tribes

When did two plus two equal five
Don’t think, get onboard with it,
Or you will be ostracized
Left to be judged by the howling mob
The sentence is always death
If not my the by the taking of your life
Then most assuredly
By the assassination
Of your character
And your soul

When did lies become the truth
Ask no questions
Just believe the sour, dour talking heads
On all of the cable news shows

Somewhere in the bowels of hell
Adolph does his little dance
Joseph Goebbles smiles because he knows
He taught them all so very well
