Real Fake News (Original)

It's that face you get
when you're reading the fake news
on a real tv.

The latest monster
is formed piecemeal by the sound
bytes that feed the hands.

I once was human
and believed in my own eyes
but those days are gone.

Now an instrument
I dutifully sing out
about the Russians.

Russians are coming
and they want to control us:
News at eleven!

And if you swipe right
you can send them an email
to show your outrage.

Both women and men
used to face dogs and cannons
to secure their rights.

The Truth Ministry
labels them as terrorists
so do "good people".

You like what you hear?
Like my page and spread the word:
Russians are coming!

The revolution
will surely be hyperlinked,
all "good people" know.
