Daunting the hypocrisy
when ruled by just plutocracy
or by kakistocracy
befouling spent democracy

How dismissively they act
to any thorough search of fact
Quite unable to react
beyond emotional impact!

Shrill the whistles of delusion
in music played on calliope
Minions marching in effusion
to music of faux reality …

Of consumption bewildered minions
churning out their fact-free opinions!

-calliope = steam-whistle organ with a loud, shrill sound used to attract attention for circuses, fairs & parades
-kakistocracy = government run by the vile & worst, least qualified or most unscrupulous citizens (Greek kakistos: worst)
