Portent (172 of 365)

Day 173 of the 365 day poem challenge.

Word of the day portent meaning "a sign or warning that a momentous or calamitous event is likely to happen."

Portent

A gust of something approaches 
It is invisible and has no force
But can crumble the world
To dust 
An idea 

Reverberating throughout consciousness 
Streams of propaganda propagate
Tautology ideology 
Undo truth 

Alternative facts portent doom
Alternative realities dimensions
Astrophysics dark matter
Incomprehensible jargon buzz word

Cram the world with nonsense
Flood the pages and words with conjecture and opinions
The opening of the can 

This is the beginning of the end
In a digital age of constant connectivity to negativity 
Blasting consumption of falsehoods

Subjective objective 
The point is well and truly disregarded 
The point is lost and thrown out the window 
This is the portent 
This is tragedy
This is the collective selfishness
This is the modern world 
Sink or swim
Eat or be eaten
We are cattle and we are led.
