Saturation

Everyone knows the government does evil things
Everyone knows the news channels are corrupt
Everyone knows the economy is going down
Everyone knows that society is troubled
Everyone knows the world is dying
Everyone knows the poor are lazy
Everyone knows gays are mental cases
Everyone knows God is real
Everyone knows the world is flat
Everyone knows the others are wrong
Everyone knows the rich are lazy
Everyone knows the gays have been around for millennia
Everyone knows god is a lie
Everyone knows the world is round
Everyone knows the others are wrong

No one knows what proves the Earth is round or flat
Only ever seen opinion blogs about it
No one knows if God is real or a lie
Only ever seen opinion blogs about it
No one knows if gays have been around for millennia or are a modern concept
Only ever seen opinion blogs about it
No one knows if the rich or poor are lazy
Only ever seen opinion blogs about it

We think we know so much when we are only taken others' words for it
When there is so much evidence,
Why is it so hard to find?

With so much information actively shared and the right information so hard to find,
Is it so shocking that these problems are becoming more prevalent?

No one knows how fast the world is dying
No one knows how troubled society is
No one knows how the economy is really doing
No one knows how corrupt news channels are
No on knows what the government is really planning

Why are the only truths we all believe
The truths that we know the least about?
