UNSOLD

By Anthony G. D'Agnese


cherry-picked facts
morph into lies
believed by those who
no longer look for truth

avarice and greed
pull the strings
on garish marrienettes
the show must go on

the audience must not
by any means
become bored
oh! no

for then they
one by one might
get up and leave
until the popcorn goes
unsold
