Converting our knowledge to data
Intelligent thought is then stored til its bought;
Flatlined as alpha and beta.

A diet of facts thats designed,
As junkfood for hungry young minds;
Most obsolete before we can eat;
Were compelled to obsessively dine!

Weve no inclination to check its creation
Consuming whatever we find;
Info at best, thats swift to digest;
And doled out a bit at a time.

How long can we thrive upon food;
Thats already carefully chewed.
Eaten in haste with no time to waste;
Or judge what they put in the stew!

--------------------------------------
Let me waste time reading rhyme;
Paid for with coins of lost time;
A garden of thoughts, fresh-picked and just caught,
Unanswered, unseasoned,
