in our search for truth
we found we could not
manage it
and so we handed in
our passports and
entered the post-truth world
where we could feel
safe inside our own
opinions and the
superstitions
fed to us by charlatan
preachers and politicians
who were willing to sell our souls
along with their own
so that they could hang
around the halls of power.
the market for souls is
lucrative and rewarding
and we are bringing
a good return for
those willing to trade
us for their post-truth
moments of power
and ecstacy
and the only way to
take ourselves off
the selling block
is to turn around
and step out of the the post-truth
world and demand
the return of those passports.
