2022 April PAD Challenge: Day 23
Write a poem every day of April with the 2022 April Poem-A-Day Challenge. For today’s prompt, write a conspiracy poem.
For today's prompt, write a conspiracy poem. Line your ball caps with aluminum foil, cover your walls with cryptic sticky notes, and write a poem that exposes (or refutes) a conspiracy. Is the Earth flat? Are all professional sports (and entertainment awards ceremonies) fixed? Did people really talk about Bruno? Write your poem, because I want to believe.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Conspiracy Poem:
"EVERYONE"
Everyone's out to get you--
the postal carrier, cashier,
bus driver, door-to-door
canvasser, factory line
worker, chef, doctor, boss,
police officer, firefighter,
neighbor, stranger, random
person hitching a ride
through the country who's
walking along the interstate
on the other side of the state--
EVERYONE; they're all out
to get you, but they haven't
had the chance to get you
(not yet), or, perhaps, it's
maybe possible (however
unlikely) that they're not.
