tomes become furniture; Kindle beckons
the same logic runs; but digitized
when everyone’s a publisher, who reads
what they need? small capsules normalized
it may be a scam or crime; stories rule
data is a mule; tortured enough
to be politically correct; show
what you should know; with no questions tough
content factories churn out obnoxious
tales; gods anxious behind perspectives
Tear apart superimposed lies deftly
from expertly crafted narratives

Inspired toddaid, Reena! Yes, “data is a mule; tortured enough/
to be politically correct” — Exactly what is happening as we’re flooded with content and forced to curate, to “Tear apart/ superimposed lies deftly/from expertly crafted narratives” — as well as we can.

Thank you for writing to the prompt!
The lies spew out and others self-censor in fear. Sigh.
