Cloven

The world according to Trump’s favorite network is bizarre 
You can’t get there from here by plane or train or motorcar

You have to take a leap of faith in alternative facts

To accept the world OAN touts in daily attacks.

Instead of the world normal people live in every day

OAN projects a world where Trump alone holds sway

Dear Orange Leader still leads that world in OAN’s eye

Wherein only true Trump believers alone need apply.

Two alternate realities upon diverging tracks

Grow farther apart with each “fact” hawked by OAN hacks

Two parallel alternate worlds exist side by side

Separated by a gaping chasm miles wide.

Unity is well and good and let’s all hope it works

But it can’t have much of a chance given OAN jerks

Who are just the tip of the iceberg of reality

Accepted by the Trump cult that the rest of us can’t see.

When truth’s accused of being lies and lies insist they’re truth

There’s not much hope for reconciliation cutting loose

And untangle the web OAN and others have woven

To reunite two worlds that like the devil’s hooves are cloven.
