Info Overload

For Every New Find You Find, You’ll Find
What Fascinates and Captivates The Mind
Though For Every New Theory That’s Defined
Another Piece of the Mind’s Eye Has Gone Blind

Set your psyches to seeker mode
Pick a path or follow a friendly road
Flood of feeding facts fill your mind overflowed
Batting your brains with the banter bestowed

Stop for suggestion or a sense of direction
Merge right minds to mines of hyper reflection
Go for the power of the shower of suggestion
Yield to information superhighway congestion

Learn, though don’t dwell
On the knowledge that’s fleeting
For a day, we may find, again as well
We were treating with bleeding
A disease, who can tell
If the books we’ll be reading
Will be obsoleting
The facts we’re competing
for now?

If the timeless is tested by the test of time;
And music’s still measured with rhythm and rhyme;
The good of the Old and New judged at their Prime;
Then the Test, the Measure, and Judge were all part of the Climb!

Sly statements sliding some slippery slopes
Sharp shooters shouting from the ends of their ropes
Easy-believing-fact-repeating-friction-feeding mopes
Citing sources like swords, sliced to small-scale scopes 

Stop incensing seekers seeking silence from squalls
Merge minds to mend the mess that’s made of mortal flaws
Go for the peace that ceases a concern for the cause
Yield to what makes for peace, and don’t wait for applause

Learn, though don’t dwell
On the knowledge that’s fleeting
For a day, we may find, again as well
We were treating with bleeding
A disease, who can tell
If the books we’ll be reading
Will be obsoleting
The facts we’re competing
for now?

If the timeless is tested by the test of time;
And music’s still measured with rhythm and rhyme;
The good of the Old and New judged at their Prime;
Then the Test, the Measure, and Judge were all part of the Climb!

    Sometimes you are not really as smart as the knowledge that you have retained or your
    ability to emulate and regurgitate the discoveries of the brilliant minds that
    came before you.
