Downfall

The days pass in a haze of ignorance 
Even your closest friend may leave to follow sheep
I could spend years trying to give this topic proper cited coordinates. 
But does the new generation know the Dewey decimal system
Or would they look to the sky and a modern carl Sagan to point out  the Dewey constellation  

In a time of resurgence of things long ago solved
Flat earth , vaccination acceptance for greater good
And a village of idiots instead of a village idiot 
The fate of our society seems deserving at times 

Tho the reasons are many the foundation is but one truth
That the building blocks of separation,  deception, control and acceptance is zoned.
And all I said up until this point with tact and cuth
Is all said in profound depth in the following parable with a empathetic tone:

The problem with the world today 
Is there are to many belief based facts
And there are not enough fact based beliefs 

Kindly
