Poetry of Issue 9: Internet Rumors Trending Now

Internet Rumors Trending Now

Attaching itself to the internet

The rumor went viral

The virus spread like wildfire

There was no stopping it

No taking it back

 

His name was mud

His reputation ruined

He was ostracized

Due to downright lies

 

He was made to pay

For others crimes

His stature demeaned

His legacy deleted

His accomplishments

Which were vast

Tossed into the trash

 

Oh, by the way

He was innocent
