Praise Google.
My friend once said,
"Religion and God are dead,
In our modern age
We have Internet instead".
I don't know about you
But I'd have to agree
Seems like lately
It's all that I see.
Illuminates faces in the dark
Dose that make us Holy?
It dictates most of our lives
People depend on it wholly.
It's for everyone
Royalty to bourgeoisie
There's no collection plate
But there is a nominal fee.
There's no preacher
But there are power's that be
No commandments, but censorship
You only see what they let you see.
A tool to reach your true potential
Ask a question, Get an answer
A tool to subliminally bombard you
Causes attention span cancer.
Satisfies our souls
That can not be seen
Distorts our identities
We are avatars on screens.
Brings people together
Free speech in a shared conscious
It gets quite noisy
Sometimes it's just nonsense.
Yet we don't question it
We just click and reference it.
It justifies our actions
And facilitates reactions.
You don't actually understand
Still your sounding off like a bugle
Your being lead by an invisible hand
Is it God or is it Google?

"attention span cancer." What a great way to describe that.
I had a feeling I would enjoy this piece, just from reading the title, I've said for years that the new religion is the internet and the new god is Google.
As always the flow of this is wonderful, it just falls off my tongue, and your voice is always so prominent in your pieces.
As always, as ever, a fan.

Glad you like it, I think 'smart phone zombies' are an epidemic.
Thank you M'lady, you let me know I'm ticking the right boxes.
