Last night
Last night
I walked upon the water.
I really walked
Upon the water.
You who do not believe me,
Come back tomorrow and
I will tell you
That last night
I did it again.

I believe you
but will come back tomorrow
and see what you will tell me.
M.K.
A big thankyou to everyone who liked this poem. I wrote it some time ago but I now find it very topical, since it implies that if you repeat something often enough people will start to believe it, and all you have to do is to tell someone that something happened, not provide any evidence. This is a tactic which has been followed recently with fraud claims in the US election.
Also, there is a time shift aspect. When I say:
'Come back tomorrow and
I will tell you
That last night
I did it again.'
I mean that tonight I did it again. But, of course, by tomorrow tonight will be last night. So nothing lasts forever, or at all.

Thank you, Michael. Probably a good precaution.
