Sometimes, “conspiracy theory”
\nIs a term thrown around too liberally,
\nAs a synonym for incorrect fact.
\nDon’t presume that.
\nInstead clarify,
\nAssume the knowledge you can provide
\nIs not already possessed.
\nDo not let the meaning of that phrase be repressed –
\nBecause “conspiracy” requires organised thought.
\nIt is the act of plotting, or conspiring, of course,
\nAnd that is not my saying to discard all you’re taught,
\nOnly most of it,
\nThe Imperial bits.<\/p>\n
After all,
\nIt is a hot day today,
\nBut the Prince won’t sweat.
\nBut that is not because he is a lizard,
\nBut because he’s patiently inside awaiting
\nThe reopening of the Pizza Express.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
