We The People

We the people,

live on the edge

of knowledge

built by human endeavour.

 

Expertise

to embrace,

enrich,

not scorn.

 

You claim wisdom 

ignore experts,

you born again

alternative

converts.

 

I can’t believe 

I’m reduced 

to refuting 

your nonsense.

 

Just thought

I’d let you know,

fuckwits.

Thank you Stephen. I’ve given up trying to argue with such views. It’s an impossible task with some people. That’s why this poem is so curt.

Thanks also for the likes from Holden, Manish and Red Brick Keshner.

Well put, John. A good response to climate change deniers ('the science is divided, mate, it says so on You Tube') and people who (still) claim that the moon landings never happened.

One for the conspiracy theorists after reading their newspapers, and a nod to Charles Bukowski.
