I wished Trump a win

For I wished to see an experiment

For I had never seen an experiment

It is true; I had never seen an experiment

I did not see Stalin’s experiment

I did not see Hitler’s experiment

I did not see Mussolini’s experiment

It is totally true

That this society

Is a post-truth society

That a post-truth condition

Has fallen on our world

That on us has descended

A post-truth condition.

Where the truth is that

Appeals to emotion
