Too much information too readily available

And so much of it is so totally unreliable ...

For some see things in narrow perspective

And thus then do things with own electives



Characterizing folks based on few words

Clearly just written, not even truly heard

So they slide into postures and fixed stance

Based on partial info with which they dance



Performing acrobatic maneuvers in minds

Narrowed by their non-facts, some so unkind

Then they search and make new associations

Perhaps based on even more new calculations



The only reality then is meeting face-to-face 

For this will negate all data filling up space

As truth lies not at all on any printed page ...

But in verbal and full contact - the best stage
