Can we all please stop caring,
Please stop sharing
Our views,
We don't know,
We can't know,
It has no bearing,
No truth. 

What use are our opinions,
Our hopes and our dreams,
What use are our fears,
Our prejudices and our streams
Of consciousness...
That don't 
quite 
tie 

together? 

We don't know what will happen,
We don't know what's to come.

Our words are left floating,
For all to read,
Could it be worth it?
Might it plant a seed?

With everyone welcome to say what they like,
We drown in a torrent,
We are flooded by light
From the screens sat in front of us,
From the left and the right,
But what's right could be wrong,
What we write
Is a poem
What we write
Is a song.

But it travels all over
Without meter or rhyme 
Because opinion not knowledge
Is a waste of our time. 

We know what we like
And we like what we know,
In the end we won't change 
We'll just reap what we sew.

I'm confused, I'm not certain,
I just can't understand,
And I'm not sure if that matters,
This isn't what I planned.

So keep yourself to yourself,
Be an island, be one,
Your opinion doesn't matter,
This whole sharing things a con
