Toggle to Goggle

At the intersection
Of sleep
And imagination …

Time to jump
On Fritter
Or Facecrook
To see what’s what.

Then toggle
To Goggle.
Might make
Your mind boggle.

What can we believe?

Private motives.
Public disdain.
Bots and bias.
World down the drain.

A swirling sea of hubris,
A health system in tatters.
Shaking hands? See those
Coughing MAGA Hatters?

With megaphones, chanting,
“It’s a liberal plot.”
Aimed to terrify, then coax.
“It’s those commie dims
And their impeachment hoax.”

Yet it’s true we’ve been
Lied to for months and months:
Facts tossed into the trash
Made mute by this classless dunce.

Would karma fulfill
Its ultimate mission?
What’s it waiting for?
Does it lack ambition?

People need to believe
A fairy tale ending.
“It’s going to be all right.”
But that’s not what’s trending.

The dimwit charlatan
Who can barely spell
Has a new product
That he’s eager to sell.

“Don’t worry about a thing.
Let’s begin the beguine.”
And lines form to take
The Emperor’s Vaccine.
