Truth Rules

Let's agree to be protective
over all matters subjective 

We got that precious First Amendment
ensuring free speech after all

Even those with whom we disagree with
for views we may even find repugnant

In fact especially those whose opinions
may reside on the fringe minority
deserve the right to be heard

The free and open exchange of ideas
makes us all stronger
when all is said and done

But let's not add disinformation into the mix
especially when the lies are deliberate 

Those who mislead with fabricated facts
and flood social media with contrived bullshit
only serve to muddy the waters
of intelligent contemplative discourse

These spinners of fraud have no business
being included in any discussions

Let's all agree
to let their toxic lies rot on the vine
