I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

Instant communication, instant connection
to all the things you don’t need to know, while
delaying access to what you want to know better.
Algorithms substitute advertising for real content,
tell the part of the story a corporation can profit from.
An era where human beings have faster and greater
access to knowledge and information, we are mostly
pacified by empty words, pretty pictures, and
trumped up tales of misfortune, instead of
searching for the truth.
Depth is now disposable.
Conveniently forgotten.
Now, content with content, what we learn lingers
only as long as our interest is answered. Then
we are hijacked on this information highway by
bright signs indicating a turn in our attention.
Memory amiss. Gone in an instant.
What do we really know?

When it’s not right, we see
only what is wrong instead
of trying to make it better.
Look past the faults.
See possibilities.
Keep moving forward.

Speak up for yourself, for others,
and for those who can’t or won’t
or don’t think for themselves.
Don’t remain silent.
React.
Give voice to valid concerns and
don’t accept what some of those
bastards are trying to pass off
as truth.
Know better.
