I found a new thing recently,
\u2018bout as useful as any thing could be.
I use it to defend and to attack.
I call it an Alternative Fact.<\/p>\n

Alternative Facts are my favorite kind.
I make \u2018em up right here in my mind.
When they\u2019re not real no one can tell
if I make \u2018em up real well.<\/p>\n

History\u2019s described by those who win,
avengers of some egregious sin.
The facts are always what they say
and there\u2019s no one left to argue anyway.<\/p>\n

Alternative Facts aren\u2019t really lies.
They\u2019re just my delusions in disguise.
They can be used so effectively
to make an alternative democracy.<\/p>\n

Alternative Facts, alternative memories
lead to alternative realities,
Alternative rights, alternative wrongs,
Alternative movements, alternative songs.<\/p>\n

Alternative Facts, Fake News,
Just make up anything you choose.
Do it well so no one will see.
That will be good enough for me.<\/p>\n

Alternative Facts need not be true.
They\u2019re good enough for me
and that should be good enough for you.<\/p>\n
