Willy Wonkered

Sugar coat anything

And it will be swallowed true

Poisonous lies and headlines

Servings of junk news

We – like spoilt children

Demand a goodnight story!

Candied lollypops a-lick

Fantastical, gob-smaking

Feel good tummy narratives

Gullible’s Travels titilate

So inveterate suckers we all become

Reality – we barely grasp

So rotten now are our teeth

Yet off we go to bed a dream

Un-brushed and unclean.

Cheung-Ling Wong
