How often we fall in a vicious trap,
social channels portraying doctored episodes,
news channels throwing in their biased opinions,
and the print media showing scenes that never occurred,

And we create a dissonance,
an opinion and nurture hatred,
I don’t know why we fall to such a cheap trick
when we know
even what we see through naked eyes could be a setup
and what we hear may not bear the truth,
yet we get drawn into such obnoxious world,
for we enjoy being entertained than bestowing veracity
