Age of Information

Peering through the looking glass
Staring down the hole
But we don’t call this place wonderland
So forget all you know
In the age of information
There is so much we can learn
But we just look it up on Google
Never bother to confirm
Libraries are just mausoleums
Of a forgotten time
When people searched for the truth
Simply as a matter of pride
Now we just rely on wiki
With all sources unknown
But still we just accept it
Like it was written in stone
We’ve replaced the requirement
Of a college degree
With meaningless quotes
From our idols of the silver screen
There’s nobody left researching
We want our facts at a glimpse
So welcome to the age of information
And the death of common sense

I am 32 years old. I have been blessed with a wonderful wife and 3 amazing sons. I have loved to write for a long time, but have just recently found the confidence (Thanks to amazingly supportive friends and family) to actually start sharing that with more than just my closest family and friends.
