Dumbing Down

My thoughts are brilliance
Thinking a genius,
Wearing the imagination
Of a deliberate fool,

Stimulating the brain
By eye-catching eye candy Tv,
No further sharpening an able apparatus
To render me a useful tool.

Internet a new rotting sensation
Turning mere mortals to celebrities,
Taking from vision
And the ability to make words leap off the page,

It helps, reading and arithmetic in keeping active
Perhaps an halt of word and whit becoming unattractive,
Certain system process concludes this is me
I'm firm in belief intellectuals deserve the stage.

No longer doting on the ignorance of my former self
That in which I used to drive me all the wiser,
If im standing still too long ill get old
In technology times they want to do all thinking for me,

Though, Surrounded by the advances
Convenience adapted in installments of necessity,
I can grasp sense of old fashion by silent night
My uncertainty of dumbing down diminishes not integrity.
