The word today is “Wise.” No, not a wise word, as if I had one to offer, but the word Wise. That’s the problem with adjectives.

Otherwise Hypnotized: a triolet
Fooling people is now easier than ever.
The harder part-to convince them otherwise.
Pop ‘correctness’ the most common endeavor.
Fooling people is now easier than ever.
Friendly feelings don’t replace facts, however,
Yet folks doubt what’s in front of their eyes.
Fooling people is now easier than ever.
The harder part- to convince them otherwise.

I agree, it is hard to know who to trust.
Only trust your own ability to figure ‘things’ out. ❤
