Poem: We Should Hold That Tongue, Not All Tales Are Honestly Spun

Studies showed that false news travelled six times faster than the truth

But it’s not the robots pinging this around without actual proof

The source of the snowballing is little old us

’Cause we love a bit of goss to discuss

Remember that we need to keep a loving regard for the reputation and good name of each other

As we are all someone’s friend, daughter, son, sister, partner or brother.
