So much has been said,
About the things he didn’t say.

Of the plethora of quotes,
Observations,
And musings,
Misattributed to this genius of science,
Icon of pop culture.

His name and reputation hijacked,
By those who wish to use it,
To validate their own philosophies,
Ideologies,
And jingoisms.

Einstein’s name is a trusted one,
Wise and kind.

Scoundrels all of them,
To fool so many people,
To mischaracterize,
The views and words,
Of an eminent scientist.

So,
What did he say?

What the fuck did Einstein actually,
Really,
Say?

Of the myriad,
Quotes,
Observations,
And musings,
Misattributed to this genius of science,
Icon of pop culture,
Which,
If any,
Did he actually say?

Did he say anything?

With all the hoaxes,
Myths,
And lies,
That our fragile minds,
Must endure,
In these frightening modern times,
Are we sure he even existed,
At all?

GASP!

STOCK UP ON FOOD AND GOLD!
HIDE YOUR KIDS!
PUT ON THE GAS MASKS!

THE EARTH IS FLAT,
THE MUSLIMS HAVE CONQUERED EUROPE,
AND EINSTEIN NEVER EXISTED!
