Believe You Me
Or don’t
Don’t believe the doom ‘n’ gloom
Don’t believe the dread
Don’t believe the plutocrats
Who profit off the dead
Don’t believe the alpha source
Don’t believe the alt
Don’t believe the loudest ones
Who never are at fault
Don’t believe the narratives
Don’t believe the hype
Don’t believe the publishers
Who twist the truth with type
Don’t believe the righteousness
Don’t believe the ‘pure’
Don’t believe the misanthropes
Who scheme yet act demure
Don’t believe the sleight-of-hand
Don’t believe the gloss
Don’t believe the marketers
Who trade in costly dross
Don’t believe the influence
Don’t believe the trends
Don’t believe the bellwethers
Who stockpile gifts and ‘friends’
Don’t believe the seething hordes
Don’t believe the zeal
Don’t believe the ‘researchers’
Who muddle fact and feel
Don’t believe these disbeliefs
Or any form of sway
There’s nothing that you must believe
Not even what I say
