Paper Tigers

 

The relentless propagandists

using all their tools

to move the proverbial needle

of public opinion

Dishing disinformation
with inhuman frequency
the well funded influencers
who now spew indistinguishable 
from the unbearable bots

They canonize the broken prophets
in social media
thought silo cathedrals

while skewering 

today's designated enemy

with incessant negative fury

Their words a futile rallying cry
to disillusioned rebels
desperately grasping for alibis
as the disjointed mob now declares war
on a disinterested real world
that long ago moved on
to more interesting distractions
