Illusory Correlation



Our senses state this must be so:
has it not always been this way?
Media confirms that fable is fact,
it is happening every day.

When misperception is encouraged
through repeated misrepresentation,
the lines are blurred between
the truth, and complete fabrication.

We live in a world where hate abounds,
peopled by believers in superstition.
Why doesn’t love and peace become
the default human condition?

So nothing is truly as it appears,
and facts may present as illusions.
Our species isn’t evolving:
we just can’t draw sound conclusions.
