Everybody fell for it-you and me
Pretty little lies our friends had sent us
Proof in photographs, surprising must-sees
Dolphins roaming clear canals in Venice
But wishful-thinking minds are overrun
Bit-streams are all muddied with deceivers
Dolphins stayed five hundred miles away from
The likes of forty-thousand believers
False hopes for Mother Nature's victory
Fantasies click-fueled by attention-lust
So say the experts in psychology
Who warn against a spiral of distrust
Wise creatures speak their truth in metaphor
And hope requires us to imagine more
