My name is dan and I am a recovering Qanon
His voice shook him as he stood in front
saying the words did not make
him
feel
stronger
that would come later
he hoped
_________________________________________________________
Was it like one of those old hour westerns
where the Sheriff turns out
to be the head of the gang
doing stagecoach robberies
____________________________________________
He told how he had gone from
raging at the Internet
to joining others on the street
from screaming,
to using his fists
to make his point
allthewhilethinking
this world would be changed!
___________________________________________
Was there really no Nambla anymore
or, at least, one that mattered
was there not this empire of evil
that he had been so truly told
_____________________________________
He told how one day
after a night of posting,
then walking, then driving
then trying to find his way home again
he knew there were many lies
in the world
and he was someone
who only believed the best lies
______________________________________
After the applause
he sat down
not knowing now
what he would do with his life
