I wonder, before mass media, 
How God named Light 
In the king’s English.
Ecclesiastic hierarchy, sure,
But two men cannot see the same Sun.

And when the printing press came,
How far away was mass literacy?
How long until the masses can read the news?
Martin Luther put each man in front of his own Bible.
How could one book be read by two men?

Today’s stories come from the networks.
Corporate hierarchies, sure,
But we don’t have to read.
The internet knows things for us,
But we can’t read that.
