          FORGOTTEN KNOWLEDGE
          By ... Steve Lucky

Modern inventions allow one
To access massive amounts of information
Sometimes with as little effort 
As the click of a mouse.
Yet as more and more information
Reaches the general public,
Have we lost the quality information
Necessary for day to day living?
Lost in a sea of trivial facts 
No one could possibly comprehend
Exists the forgotten knowledge 
Of ancient and not so ancient times.
Those who lived during those times
Managed to aquire what they needed to know
From nothing more complex
Than the world around them.
Vast quantities of information
Can not replace the forgotten knowledge
Provided by what can be seen, heard, and touched.
Modern inventions are far from useless,
But they must coexist with the rest of the world,
Past, present, and future.
