System Of Beliefs



Trustworthy contemptuous virtues
read and hear the standard news
potentially damaging remarks
there was more than one of Noah's arks
regulations reforming society direct
dangerous outcomes and information you select
to have and hold as true
statements believable and allies you knew
time and time you think
every time you lie you blink
second opinionated stronger reports
notorious fame names newspaper sorts
gathering your appropriate courage
trivialize as an important issue surges
fractures since downstream skepticism
specific reasons choices and heroism
careful steady relativity forming
through the information doorway storming
we purchase everything including the air
popularized superseded news finally there
