Information
So much of it
How to absorb it all
How to decipher it
True
False
Opinion
Fact
It is so difficult to determine
What the real message is
One thing is for certain
It is seldom what it appears
And is often
Deviance cloaked in purity
Pandering news
Appealing to baser instincts
Stirring up arguments
For distraction
As money shifts hands
Behind the scenes
A world more corrupt
Than it has ever been
Will it get better
Or continue spiraling askew
My bet is on the latter
Until consciousness is born anew
