Infodemic


The passion to know and happy nature to explore,

and the wealth of information to wonder no more.

When excess of new info spreading dodgy facts,

adding confusion to amplify the mass hysterical acts.

Falsehoods whizzing by finger snatching speed,

curbing the infodemic with a sensation seed.

Infobesity the gorging online information state,

debilitating overload and advertising hunger gate.

The muse of media so quick in poetic verse,

headlines shooting stars through every data device.

Those fair procrastinations to set as they must,

consecrated fame sensation at all cost.

To become aware and obtain some guilt with fear,

labeled consciences and prestige recognition sphere.

Confused minds and the find fit instrument of ill,

pretense’s attention to bend that illusive will.

Spam province tending the utopian fair,

tempting, pleasing and promising glorious care.

Imprisoned delusion and poor integrity void,

detaining labyrinths to keep slaves attached to android.

Keeping humanity malleable for controlling sake,

context in common sense as caring maintaining fake.

https://robertrittel.blogspot.com Living virtualistic through myself. The road I wanted to follow choose me and I can see the cosmos to know itself. I remember only moments where my actions manifested the belief of my passion, choosing my next universe through what I have learned in this one. My fears got lost in dreams, sensing what needed to be done with no thinking. I believe in fairy tales, especially with dragons and how to tame them. I do not need any strange faith to worship that celestial brilliance. Dismissing everything what insults my soul and faithful in those small things, because it is in them where our strength is.
