Sometimes, “conspiracy theory”
Is a term thrown around too liberally,
As a synonym for incorrect fact.
Don’t presume that.
Instead clarify,
Assume the knowledge you can provide
Is not already possessed.
Do not let the meaning of that phrase be repressed –
Because “conspiracy” requires organised thought.
It is the act of plotting, or conspiring, of course,
And that is not my saying to discard all you’re taught,
Only most of it,
The Imperial bits.
After all,
It is a hot day today,
But the Prince won’t sweat.
But that is not because he is a lizard,
But because he’s patiently inside awaiting
The reopening of the Pizza Express.
This is clever and nuanced. I like it.
Thank you 🙂
Very clever. I enjoyed reading this!
