The Internet


Internet.
Bastion of the salacious and fallacious.
Ocean of promise choked with bottles of empty messages.
Created with the best intentions, subverted by the basest obsessions.
Anti social network services twittering cuckolded celebrity naked home movie.
Censored, invigilated, filtered, castigated
The “citation required” trendy truth thesaurus.
If we so despise and doubt the Internet,
why has the Encyclopaedia Britannica gone out of print?
