Are We Really Free? Poem by DM W

Thanks to the free flow of facts and information:
Sacred Cows, the cause of so much irritation,
Can now be debunked, displaced and rendered futile.
New democratic forms challege media lies.
Knowlege is no longer the preserve of elites.
It can spread in the twinkling of an eye. Any
One can access the great wisdom of the ages,
Yet many do not get past pages and pages
Of advertisements. Alas, the Internet seems
To be a double- edged sword. Are we really free?
