Tribute to a Fallen Idol

Thing 1: Basing erasing
Thing 2: Facing replacing
On contact tracing
By those embracing effacing.

What can you do?
Who will hear your “Who?”
Ex-hortin’ that you’re through
Did you Geuss [sic] it could be you?

My youth was your books
And your books were my youth
They weren’t the way the world looks
But you spoke the truth.

Children, now listen
And a lesson you’ll learn
A lessening lesson:
Some books they will burn.

Folks are erroneous,
Anti-factual, felonious
They fail to baloney us:
A tale out of Suetonius.
