Pondering
When demagogues seduce
And subterfuge is ignored
When deceit is established
And character is exposed
When bigotry is fashionable
And hate becomes inspiring
When censorship is convenient
And vengeance is treasured
When ignorance has pride
And experience is deplored
When disrespect is tolerable
And rudeness is pleasing
When mocking is satisfying
And misogyny has approval
When propaganda is rampant
And falsehoods are believed
When greed is embraced
And selfishness is transparent
When lies are acceptable
And facts are fake
When fear exceeds hope
And light becomes dark
