Beware the legendary Trolls who’ve left their wild domains,
Monstrous beings, malignant, hostile to humanity,
Broadly wandering the internet causing confusion,
Intention to antagonize, disrupt and create outrage
Offensively, provocatively with destructive instincts.
Their lies spread faster than truths to tribal believers,
Trolling with baited conspiracies and cults of violence
Because enemy people eat their babies in pizza parlors.
Deceive democracy of shared truths, tolerance, justice;
Ignite autocracy of shared lies as self defense, not rules of law,
Wielding disinformation power for ignorant self-deception.
Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than evil;
Beware the internet trolls; be respectful of true reality;
It’s the only protection against the fascism ugliness once again.
