Disinformation by E. Hughes



Disinformation

is information of a most insidious kind.

It disguises itself as truth

to render us blind.

It preys on our fears

plants itself in our minds

rinse and repeat

two thousand and twenty times.



It provokes us to anger,

sowing distrust

spurring us to acts

of wanton bloodlust.



It is not what we seek, but often what we find.



Disinformation

is information of a most insidious kind.
