IntraNet
Within the strands that capture attention,
Layered by levels to constantly attract.
Is a web that's woven in multiplicity,
Ensnaring reality while hidden and abstract.
Born to inform and enlighten a community,
Its growth has been exponential in its place.
With few boundaries to hold the imagination,
The spread's been viral to the globe everyplace.
Throughout this creation, the content evolved quickly,
Where now the truth is often hidden or obscured.
As if fantasy has uprooted its true value,
Offering no guarantees once insured.
Spinning tirelessly, new cobwebs are left easily,
Where many flies are stuck on big lies and fake news.
Leaving those informed, to question the validity,
As to what's real, or is it just to confuse?
All the while, it only keeps growing to maturity,
With an appetite that's ravenous and obese.
Yet there's no one to monitor any menu,
Or somehow regulate the consumption to police.
So it would seem that more trawlers will be needed,
Casting their ever-widening nets to the sea.
And while few show concern for over-fishing ...
I'm left to wonder, if the catch is reality.
