Smarter

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Feb 13, 2023 

Smarter.
Faster,
innocence
fades.
Human
knowledge,
understanding.
Tap of a
digit
attained.
Global
knowledge
fingertips
away.
Instantly
obtained.
Unsuspecting.
Tidal wave
on the
horizon.
Information,
data
soon to
overwhelm.
Block
out the
sun.
Explosion.
Information
explosion
smothers,
inundates.
Captures
the mind.
Alters
perceptions.
Unfathomable
change.
Unforeseen
consequences
rocks
reality.
Never
to be
the same.
