You hear a story
and cling to this narrative,
gripping each element as deep truth
fundamental reality
excuse for your frailty
But it’s fiction
and no matter how loudly you shout
your warped interpretation
insist that white is black,
it won’t transform into fact.
It will only dance to a rhythm of jack boots,
and the sounds of breaking glass.

Yes.
Its funny how many try and convince us of their inaccuracies! 😉
