Conspiracist In Spite of Himself

 I’ve had enough of crazy

Our minds have become lazy

Call me a jerk for being blunt

There are lies we must confront  

Let’s Contradict conspiracies

You and me, and everybody   

My name is Anne, and I’ll be a true friend

and speak up when you go off the deep end

  

Five times I went out to hug a tree

As I watched a film about conspiracies

Trial of the Chicago 7

At first I laughed when the defendants

Said “CONSPIRACY!” when they answered the phone   

But that judge lied and made them feel alone

 

When leaders put people though this schtick

I think of Elvis Costello’s words “I used to be disgusted

Now I try amused” even at smearers

Be they J Edgar Hoover or my neighbor

the one lying and full of much deceit

letting her cats get lost in the street

 

These conspiracies lie to you

Oh, glorious humanity,

No more notorious insanity    

Those foolish things, they go BOO! 

 

He wasn’t the best mind of a generation

And lacked Solomon’s kind of wisdom

Writing an autogenerated

personal note; do you get it?

Let’s take comments on a case-by-case basis

The Conspiracies in Spite of themselves

 

These conspiracies lie to you

Oh, glorious humanity,

No more notorious insanity     

Those foolish things, they go BOO!  

 

The boss thinks his workers

Are like him scheming and hurting others

When all they’d like is some humanity   

And opportunities for decent money     

Instead Armageddon to others he meets

complaining accusing them all of greed

 

Vaccinate before a vacation

as we’re all ready to look at your brain

immunologists therapists,

the next best conspiracists 

warning if we research on the Internet

our searching will not be our little secret

 

These conspiracies lie to you

Oh, glorious humanity,

No more notorious insanity    

Those foolish things, they go BOO! 

 

My future ex-mate smears

you and me without any cares

And my doctors, they will not atone

for birthing my hormones and body groans 

from butter, chocolate, and coffee

could they be satanic or healthy for me,

 

 baby!

 

These conspiracies lie to you

Oh, glorious humanity,

No more notorious insanity    

Those foolish things, they go BOO! 

 

Kennedy, Bruce Lee and Lady Di

Painful ways the greats say goodbye

If climate change is something you believe

Then why do you freeze when it’s 60 degrees?

Let’s not talk about eating the babies    

Lies destroying friends and families

  

When UFOS and billionaires meet  

as Josie and Pussycats save music industry 

from lies of the world’s conspiracies 

stopping all of them becoming realities   

I hope we don’t fool ourselves

Believing we can fall victim this mental hell   

 

I’ve had enough of mind games

I’ve had enough of insane brains

Call me a jerk for being blunt

There are lies we all must confront 

Let’s Contradict conspiracies

You and me, and Everybody  

It’s time we become true friends

And tell our loves when they go off the deep end.

 

These conspiracies lie to you

Oh, glorious humanity,

No more notorious insanity    

Those foolish things should make us seek

truth.
