The New Age

Opinion can split us apart
As we contemplate a place to start
What is your opinion of it all
Or do you need one when they brawl?

In older generations the right seemed to brightly shine
Nazi Hordes were evil as we were part of their decline
But not all evil is so easily identified 
And being on the right side may be  hard to be justified

So in this time of the Facebook and Twitter page
Getting likes and manipulating opinion is all the rage
It can become difficult to know what is real
Or reading fake news may be your deal

It seems your filters must work overtime
To make sure you are in the right mind
And now it is important to be diligent 
To know the sources of the information read is meant.
