Do You?

Heart’s beating too fast

And my feet can’t keep the rhythm

I can’t keep up

There’s too much going on

Did you know?

Didn’t you read?
Didn’t you see the news on my feed?

No. I fucking didn’t.

I’m not everywhere at once.

In the omnipresent stampede of

False information and updates

I get lost in the shuffle

You do to. You just might not know it yet.

They don’t see you

They can’t

There’s too much to see now

A cacophony of sea how

To believe thou

Can somehow

Seethe now

Believe how

Your opinion matters

In a sea of belief

And shifting tides of what truth and information

Even mean

It’s all about spin

And can you even begin

To understand

All they can

Do to keep spinning

This top under our feet

Information is false

News is entertainment and advertising

Pushing uninformed agendas

That the companies don’t even understand

So long as the right hand

Is greased

And not least

Of us

No longer believes

What is really real

Which is we are the sources of information

Did you see it?
Were you there?

Do you know someone who was?

Get to know these nameless faces
A world a way

In the age of the information superhighway

A highway full off road blocks

Meant to keep you ignorant and apathetic

While a whole world spins

And you’re given the narrow filtered lens

And the next Hollywood Wives

In order to contrive

Your sense of reality

Or hopelessness in it

While the bars are built all around us

And we hand over the keys

Because we’re told this is what we believe

The polls say

Everyone agrees but you

Do you?

Do you know what to do?

Do…

Do what you have to

To find the facts

That make sense to you

If the puzzle seems jagged and broken

Perhaps it’s not as the moving pictures

Would lead you to believe
