Information Highway Overload

In my possession

Right here right now

In the palm of my hand

At the click of a button

Simply tapping keys

Institaneously a seemingly limitless

And insurmountable stream of knowledge

And information i am able to access

The only problem I am now personally finding

Is deciphering the difference between

Which is true and which is fake

As both sides can not be both right

2 sides to every story

Problem is if you listen to both

It sometimes leaves me feeling even

More confused than when I started

Trying to find my own answers

1 says this the other 1 counters

It with something else completely different

And it has become so hard to distinguish

Between the 2 even with all the facts

Because to much information

Can blur the lines and work against

You discovering either way

What you initially began starting out

To find the answers to

In the end it leaves you back to square 1

Having to decide and choose for yourself

What you believe in and think

Is wrong or right
