Junk Knowledge Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Junk Knowledge

Rating: 5.0


In the latest trend around the world
Junk knowledge is circulating
Attached to our emails, social media and news
We are fed so many varieties of lies and untruths
We are forced to question our hardwired belief systems, values and knowledge
We are made to pry open the solid case of our minds
And find new meaning where there is no meaning
We are being intoxicated with the putrid smells of junk knowledge
And some are drunk with these rotten new kind of knowledge
We have heard of conspiracy theories and fake news
Some so strange we are forced to puke and detoxify
But many people are hanging by every thread of these junk knowledge
Some have made a business out of these lies
Profiting from these wicked acts
This aberrant behaviour is not new
The books of history are full of stories
When mankind chose the path of wickedness
And forsook the truth
We have to be vigilant
And hold tight to our sanity
We have to hold clarity in our being
And cleanse ourselves of the impurities of being
We have to stay away from these junk knowledge
