A Stern Rebuke
I tried and lost attention
Since I know the truth of the
marketing-manipulation part
and what caveats are
and have limits on time,
let me suggest that
the Internet as a whole
and Facebook as culprit one
see that lies are harmful.
That is not registering I see
but what if it is true?
Swiftboat lies sunk Kerry
Facebook lies helped sink Hillary
It is the lie that needs to be addressed
I have a solution.
If one cannot identify a lie
she or he should not be
accepted as an employee
especially if the lie is
outlandish and obvious.
Crooked Hillary is
an effective meme in the mind of
the most accomplished liar of our time
Were I to write
Faggot Zuckerberg
or
Pedophile Gates
such blatent lies would offend and
probably not go viral.
But they are exactly what Facebook allowed
millions of times
This is execrable behavior
It is uncivilized
It is sad
And a polite rejoinder is popular
but it is dishonest
when what is called for is a stern rebuke.
How could they do it I am asked
Retroactively always
Once admitted then curbed as much as possible
The admission is the beginning point
Getting lies undone is what people are paid to do
