I Do Not Trust the Experts
I do not trust the experts, whose science is for sale,
Whether they come from Harvard or MIT or Yale—
I do not trust the gurus, the mystics, or the priests,
Who claim the truth is hiding in some obscure mist.
I do not trust the teachers, who make the children dumb,
Brainwashed by ideology, while blowing bubble gum.
I do not trust the media that spins the constant lies
To scare and divide us and force us to comply.
I do not trust what’s trending, I do not trust the news,
And phony presentations of the dissenting views—
I do not trust the polls, the fake democracy
That lulls the minds of people in herd complacency.
I do believe in freedom, that it is worth the fight,
To stand up to injustice, to stand for what is right—
To go where God leads me, through darkness, grief and pain—
Till we can be together, unshackled from these chains.

My mentors taught me a lot about being fair and positive. Using proven technique for almost everything that worked all the time under every kind of circumstance.
Science is always correct. It's the interpretation of science that we have to worry about. Do we want nuclear power or nuclear bombs? The more we understand, the better off we are.

To stand up to injustice, to stand for what is right—

I agree with Suzie, Alex. This one resonates! A true piece of craftsmanship. That last stanza is the core aspiration of a nation renewed, with vigor and purpose, to emerge from the pitch blackness of the ignorance that threatens America from within and rise once more towards the sunlight that is wisdom and cogency.
