Rhetoric Is Not Evidence (Video)

In the court of public opinion, rhetoric reigns supreme,

But proof, alas, is the elusive dream.

Just as courts shun hearsay, so should we,

Yet in the realm of accusations, we often fail to see.

Accusations fly, like birds in the sky,

But without evidence, they’re merely a cry.

Bongbong Marcos, accused of this and of that,

But without real proof, it’s all just chitchat.

In the age of social media, where rumors abound,

Fake news spreads like wildfire, all around.

Name-calling, speculation, and fantasy too,

But without evidence, what can we do?

Even photocopied documents, with holes punched through,

Can’t always reveal what’s false or true.

Nikki Coseting, Rodrigo Duterte, their words may deceive,

But without concrete proof, we should not believe.

So let’s demand evidence, not just words in the air,

For real justice, real truth, is what we should share.

In the court of public opinion, let’s raise the bar high,

For without real evidence, it’s all just a lie.

You’re So Vain, You Think The Post Is About Bongbong Marcos

In the realm of cyberspace, where opinions roam free,

Pro-Duterte netizens, with fervor, decree.

They repost with gusto, each quote and each meme,

Thinking it praises their idol, their esteemed.

But oh, how they falter, in their blind admiration,

For the jabs they applaud, fuel their own vexation.

They share without reading, without pause or reflection,

Unaware it’s their leader facing the deflection.

“You’re so vain,” rings the chorus, in satirical delight,

As they champion Duterte, in their digital fight.

But the joke’s on them, as they fail to see through,

The irony of it all, as they misconstrue.

So they march on unknowing, in their online parade,

Championing a cause, so woefully mislaid.

Oh, Duterte’s disciples, how little they knew,

The joke was on them, all along, so true.
