The Age of Information

My photo

We may never again agree

on what’s true and what’s not.

We’re inundated with information,

but can’t verify what’s what.

There’s no common consensus

on where we should go

to find out exactly

what we should know

The days of a shared vision

have been obscured and maligned

Leaving facts in doubt

and statistics behind

We may never again

know what to do

For you don’t trust me

and I don’t trust you.
