    Gert, Thank you so much for the review and comments. We have that natural curiosity and we want to know if there's something real. They make the lies sound so logical.

Social media can not only be a danger zone, it IS a Danger Zone. We need to be especially careful what we watch and listen too. Then I believe, we need to ask God, if it's true. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. Good luck.

    Thank you Barbara, I know to many who find these conspiracies so intriguing and believe every work of them, It a big part of what is dividing this country. Alex Jones, the guy who claimed Sandy Hoot shooting didn't happen, is behind of lot of this. He makes up outrageous stories, and he has a cult following on Social Media.

Absolutely, Beth. Social media has to be treated with a good pinch of salt. It became very clear throughout the pandemic. On wild conspiracy theory emerged after the other. I really liked your six word Poem. The best of luck. Ulla:)))

Yes, people do seem to love the conspiracy theories and so many fall right into believing charismatic leader's lies. People wanting to believe in something . . . anything. And yes, the media and internet fuel the fires. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for the review. I'm glad you seem to be agreeing that this can be dangerous. I have a couple of children that can't seem to get enough of the ridiculous conspiracies.

Great job rhyming your alliterative six-word poem, Beth. And you know that I feel strongly about the "cult-like conspiracies" which have taken captive relatives and friends! May the Lord expose these for what they are. Hope the poem does well in the contest!

Cultlike conspiracies
captivate
Malevolent minds
manipulate

There is a lot of truth in this. Extreme theories capture the imagination of the weak minded. Unfortunately, those are also prey to evil people.

Good, thought provoking post.

    Thank you. I really appreciate the review. I know people that seem to have lost sense of reality by embracing the conspiracies as truth no matter how ridiculous they are.

You are so right Beth and this is why I am not involved in social media as it can be toxic and do a lot of harm to people. I encourage my Grandchildren to connect with live people in person, not on line. A fine write, love Dolly x

I hope this nabs a prize. Sobering message brilliantly rendered in six well-chosen words. Stunning CCC and MMM alliteration. Apt title for the theme and spot-on notes.

    Wow! I didn't even release this yet. I was going to release it tomorrow. It couldn't have paid anything.

    You inadvertently released it--otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to comment. This happens when you save your work in progress without selecting the preview option to prevent release--I stay logged in, so I don't have to think about resetting to preview each time--but the downside is that I used to get burned whenever I got booted out of the system and had to log back in--the system default is to release vs save in preview mode. I requested that TOM change the default--nobody would want their work released until they're ready. Silence.

Nice poem for the contest. A sharp commentary on the media's ability to manipulate minds, especially malevolent minds. Super use of alliteration in the six lines. Good job.
