What a beautiful day… FOR CONTROVERSY!!!

Just Kidding, but this poem is about how this “world” we call cyberspace is so easily harnessed to elicit all manner of reactions in the populous. Rather than get into that crud, just take this as a grain of wisdom: Consider the source, always ask who can profit from this, and be aware that you end up in feedback loops if you’re only choosing to look at the same sources for information.

We are saddled with technology unheard of in millennia of human history, with the knowledge base of that same human history at our fingertips. Too many folks never take advantage of it. Places like Archive.org are trying their best to categorize all content both physical and digital. Many lost media pieces have made their way there. Additionally artwork and written content as well…

Anyway, soapboxing over… time for amateur poetry!

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedThe "Net"

Interconnected web of electric lines

Pulling its digital wool, right over your eyes

Sites and sights, yet unseen by thee

Visit the library, access is free

A digital wild west

In an analog world

The history of the best

And the worst, unfurled

Information here

Misinformation there

Which is which, you ask?

Do you truly care?

If Information is what you want

Take it if you will

Lest you have a discerning palate

You'll end up drinking swill

A bright future was promised

But a lot of it is fake

Unless you harness intentionality

You might make a grave mistake.

Seek beneath the surface

Find the true potential rise

Don't get caught without a purpose

Within this web of lies.
