As our political leaders listen to conspiracy theorists, actors, and church leaders; and the media gives their voices with the same amount of weight as scientists & educators with regards to factual information about climate change, health issues, reproductive rights, etc, I found myself writing: "It Makes No Sense" Cough! Cough! Oh No!
I’m getting sick I’d better call a plumber. Zip! Zap! Oh damn! This is a scam. I’d better call a barber. Snip! Snip! Oh shit! This hose now drips. I’d better call a butcher. Clank! Clunk! Oh fuck! That was my truck. I’d better call a waiter. Why oh Why Would I try To ask a fool for aid It’s the truth And quite uncouth, My dear, you’ve just been played The media wants ratings The actors want their wealth And not one really cares About your issues or your health. Giving voices to the ignorant Illiterate, unschooled Truth no longer matters It’s the ratings that will rule. So ask an expert for advice If it’s knowledge that you seek Because it’s education from that with which they speak.
