Craig, what in the world have you been reading? I haven't even heard of some of the conspiracy theories you listed in your poem. Never heard of Alex and his slander about Michelle Obama. Shame on him!
And these people if they claim to be Christians should read the Bible which is quite clear about not spreading rumors and deception. And no, the photo op with holding the Bible in air does NOT make him to be a Christian.

    I get most of this stuff right here from Fanstory, Helen. It's amazing the weird and not-so-wonderful nonsense floating around. Oh, Alex Jones is a real piece of work. A very clever writer called George Saunders wrote a book called The Brain-Dead Megaphone, and I think that title describes Mr Alex Jones perfectly. www.infowars.com, if you're feeling the need to really depress yourself one day :) I'm certain he believes less than 1/10 of the guff he produces, but his avid listeners are willing to bankroll him to keep producing it. Sadly, he's not a one-off. Anyway, thanks for the thoughtful words -- Craig

Hahahaha, are you sure you're not an Irish shenanigan? You're absolutely right. The world has gone off its kilter, and I stay where I am up here in my safe valley where we have escaped it all. (At least so far).
I loved your poem and I laughed all way through. Good to see you back, Graig. All best. Ulla:)))

    Your safe valley sounds like the perfect place to be, to me, Ulla. Thanks for the kind words -- Craig

I'm with you when you say grab your guns and Bible, for the futures looking mighty dim. We might have to fight to keep what is ours. We may be standing in lines for food before it is over. We need to get smart. This is America people. What is happening? Good job, Craig. Nancy:)

I agree with all your statement and the chaos we are living it sounds like the times of Armaghedon - that Deep State's sending minions out to work their fiendish plot.
Illuminati call the shots, while FEMA build their camps.
The New World Order has its sights on all that we have got,
those commies want to leave us nought, surviving on food stamps
Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

LOL. This, Craig, is priceless. It would be funny if it wasn't true. I'm still experiencing trouble with my cursor, so I'll keep this short, but have a well-deserved six. Gotta go -- my cell phone is ringing... Wait! Is it safe to answer? LOL!

This poem, Strange Times, presented in ABAB-rhymed quatrains, lists the myriad of conspiracy theories that bombard us to distraction. So funny when you run them together in verse. Neat.
