“Old Man Winter”

It’s old man Winter knocking on the door been out there so long he’s chilled to the core.

The snow keeps falling and temperature too but don’t let him in can’t tell what he’ll do.

Just keep your home warm ’til Spring comes this way don’t fret about Winter he’ll live, come what may.

Thank you,

The Resistance

We are the resistance

But do not worry, we don’t resist

We renew, and nothing can resist renewal

The Truth

We all say we love the truth

But few of us can stand it naked

The Data

It’s all there in black and white

We need only open our eyes

The Scoop

The hottest news stories

Are not those that are hidden

But those that are unseen

As we look the other way

The Details

The devil is illusive; not because he is fast

But because he is decidedly deliberate

And thus we fail to discern his moves

The Great Reset (2020-2025?)

What was once black and white

Becomes grey

And what was once grey

Becomes black and white

The Dialogue

The monologue seeks to be heard

The dialogue seeks to be understood

The Tipping Point

There is indeed a tipping point

It is either here or there

But when it comes, we shall know

The War

Youthful vigour and dreams

Impaled upon the spear of archaic ideas

The Racket

Young people fight and die

The shrewd go to the bank

The Lie

We wake from our slumber

Wipe the sleep from our eyes

And realize that all is not as it seems

The Theory

The theory is criticized so vehemently

So vehemently

Not because it is improbable

Not because it is unfounded

Not because it is blasphemous

But because,

After much careful consideration

Stringent forensic analysis

Rigorous cross-referencing

And healthy debate,

It may

In fact

Be true.
