Alternative Universe

Since when did truths

Become alternative?

Ain't that a fine "howda ya do"

And what about the words we speak

Do their meanings

Come in "alternative," too?

As in "up" is "down" and "in" is "out"

And good old "red" is "blue?"

It defeats the purpose of language

In which case you'd never know,

"I'm huntry en I liken peas

A dishes dainty sang witch..."

In this alternative universe

Our Earth is flat

The new thin is fat

And racists never lynched blacks

If that foolishness ain't enough

Here's an interesting fact-

According to our government,

Dixie's slaves were immigrants!

This is not right

Just stop it please

Alternative facts?

There's no such thing...

(Unlike Bigfoot

Or that girl from "Ring")

Fiction is fiction

Fact is fact

And never the twain

Shall be the same

If someone tells you

Otherwise-

They're playing

The "mind fuck" game...
