Across the world
Darkness grows.
Where "truth" is
A weaponized opinion
Masquerading
As fact.
Earnest people speak
Like the Holy Gospel
In praising deceit.
Never mind
Constant correcting
Or fact checking
By others.
Where
The colour white
Is now - maroon
And vice-versa.
Creating a new lexicon
For speaking
And understanding
What truth is.
Which
George Orwell's 1984
Foreshadowed
Seventy-one years ago.
As fact and fiction
Converge into one.

Author’s note: It's ironic that President Donald Trump, would be the one who finally destroys the line between truth and fiction, with his claims of fake news, from his political opponents and national media sources, who disagree with his political philosophy.
