Two Small Words

Simple really,

really simple,

but oh so complex.

Complex but oh so simple

in reality.

Two small words,

with two small letters

intact.

Two small letters,

in two small words

in fact.

Fact or fiction;

Fiction or fact?

So, so interchangeable.

In a world

no longer recognisable,

false became fact.

Fact became false.

False is fact.

Fact is false.

Two small letters,

in two small words!

There is war in those words.

Life is defined.

Health is redefined.

Climate change is altered.

War is progressed.

Friends seen as enemies.

Enemies seen as buddies.

Death reigns.

Women denied and confined.

Missiles propelled,

in nuclear profusion!

The world stops dead,

in annihilation of the known.

The known no longer viable.

Two small letters,

in two small words

remain alone,

to tell it as it was,

as it is 

as it hopefully will not be!

Two small letters,

in two small words.

Two small words,

contained in two small letters apiece.

The world of the

“AS IF.” 2026.

As if!

AS IF!

In deed!
