Plotters
The world is full of plotters who’re busy scheming treacherously,
Creating wars and mayhem, and shaping the course of history.
Yes, plotters with agendas, and tentacles universally,
Who’re attempting to control and manipulate humanity.
Therefore, history as we know it, isn’t always correct, and,
Not just a case of how things turned out, but rather, were wickedly planned.
“Truth is stranger than fiction,” it is said, and how true that can be,
Hence why Investigative Journalism proves necessary.
And why everybody should do their homework, conscientiously,
Reading broadly, researching, and questioning habitually.
Too many seem to have their head in the sand, displaying apathy,
Which thereby ups the chances of us all losing our liberty.
That “evil prospers because good men do nothing,” is also true,
However, such effectively makes those so-called “good men” guilty too.
For why don’t they say or do something — that is, if they’re able to,
And if they’re truly “good men” — as surely that is what good men do?
Yes, if only folk knew the half of it, shocked and surprised they’d be,
For so many things that affect us all, happen in secrecy.
Hence why we should enlighten ourselves — at least as far as we can,
Lest we be led astray via the cunning words and actions of man.
Hate politics? Well, you’re not alone — but interested, you should be,
As we’re all affected by decisions that are made politically.
Only fools ignore what’s happening around them, which doesn’t pay,
Given that when cats aren’t prowling — even more so, the mice will play.
Yes, the world is full of plotters, and such plotters there’ll always be,
Hiding behind organizations, even acting religiously.
Thus, we’re either on guard or not, active or inactive, invariably,
And thereby, innocent of wrongdoing, or guilty, subsequently.

Best You Know It Well
Many years ago, when I was a school boy, I displayed very little interest in history,
Considering such boring back then, but not today though, for now I view things very differently.
For I have come to realise just how important a sound knowledge of this Earth’s history is, lest we
Repeat the mistakes of the past, which we’re actually doing, and which will cost us very dearly.
However, what I’ve found is that history’s often different to the official records, and why
We need to do our own research, and extremely thoroughly, lest there as well, we also go awry.
For it’s one thing to have a lot of knowledge, but if that knowledge isn’t accurate, or some of it,
We’re sure to go amiss somewhere, somehow, for not all of the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle will fit.
The truth is, that we can’t guarantee that everything we read and hear is correct, hence my warning here,
And why even when it comes to conspiracy theories, we can’t afford a disbelieving grin or sneer.
But rather, should keep an open mind, tucking such away on our mental shelves, lest some day such prove true,
And in the meantime, (if it’s worth the time and effort), a thorough, unbiased investigation pursue.
Yes, far too many people are too accepting of what they read and hear, displaying naivety;
So sure that such and such couldn’t possibly be so — that is, when other people say differently.
And thereby, in their dismissal of such, they imperil themselves, and even those who are in their care,
And all because they believed the official line, say, rather than what others sincerely chose to share.
Yes, when it comes to history, its best you know it inside out.

"Many
journalists now are no more than channelers and echoers of what George
Orwell called the 'official truth'. They simply cipher and transmit
lies. It really grieves me that so many of my fellow journalists can be
so manipulated that they become really what the French describe as
'functionaires', functionaries, not journalists."
John Pilger, Australian journalist
