"ALL-ACCESS?"

Information jumbled-up

requiring double, triple-checks

even as all floods

right into your brain and heart

The clock is ticking

You’re still losing

time and perspectives

with some potentially bad apples consumed,

poisonous and troublesome

Are you starving for knowledge

or just trying to keep you safe?

Why are you constantly on the edge?

It’s like picking foods from the menu

Not all is meant for you

Check your brain and heart

What’s the stat?

Have they been overfed

with what’s bad for your health,

especially your mental state?

Perhaps ignorance is still bliss

but you’re not those people

who choose to miss

It’s hard not to care

when they’re practically everywhere

What to do?

Don’t ask me

You’ve got the key

Choose wisely

Select carefully

Let them swirl before you,

but not all are VIPs

You’re the one to decide

which deserves an all-access

into your brain and heart

and stay right where they are.
