Little Magpies

Little
magpies.
Dutifully 
repeat.
Repeat 
what’s 
been 
Installed,
injected.
Zeros and
ones.
Instruments 
of deception.
Squawking.
Hear 
them 
chattering.
Spreading 
lies.
Lies as
truths.
Repeating 
narratives 
unfounded,
back and
forth.
Virus
like
spread
infecting 
uniformed.
Narratives 
of delusion.
Critical 
thinking 
lacking.
Questions
nonexistent.
Accepting 
everything 
told.
Product
of control.
Magpies
chattering.
