When officials wage war on facts Ignorance holds sway. When heads of state warp reality Surreality takes the crown. When functionaries fail to govern Havoc seizes the throne. When bureaucrats embrace disorder Chaos rules the realm. When leaders lose their minds Insanity reigns supreme. #poem #poetry

Fake Beer
Fake Beer” is a sensory, slightly wickedly funny meditation on craving and restraint: the speaker’s lifelong love of beer collides with the knowledge that alcohol isn’t good for them.
