A Fact is something you can see. <br />And hear and smell and it can be <br />of any size or shape at all, <br />as well as short or big and tall. <br /> <br />It's something you may want to beat, <br />if it's a Fact that's called Defeat. <br />Facts are not easy to avoid <br />thus man invented the Factoid. <br /> <br />When facts occur or are the case <br />on true experience they are based. <br />A Fact is never an illusion, <br />it does not spring from a conclusion. <br /> <br />A Factoid does not really live, <br />it is a cloud that aims to give <br />the clear impression it exists. <br />It writes itself on many lists. <br /> <br />And here it is, for you a hint, <br />a Factoid lives once it's in print. <br />The printed word is just like sperm, <br />so eager, first to twist and squirm. <br /> <br />It soon begets a million more <br />all Factoids from the common whore, <br />which is, of course that thing called Lie, <br />a Factoid leaves you high and dry. <br /> <br />So, if you want to pull one over <br />you spread the word, the town of Dover <br />is situated on the Nile. <br />Endless repeats will, in a while <br /> <br />create an earnest paradigm <br />which can withstand the wraths of time. <br />The internet, a breeding ground <br />for factoids, where they go around <br /> <br />it spreads the gospel of deceit, <br />which is so easy, for they meet <br />a billion souls who lead a meagre <br />existence, and, therefore are eager <br /> <br />to swallow hook and line and sinker <br />each stylish looking Factoid stinker. <br />You ask why Factoids are around <br />(and it is true that they abound) , <br /> <br />They've been created to dumb down <br />the masses, each becomes a clown.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/facts-and-factoids/
