How To Maintain Credibility

How to maintain credibility Granulated points of view, they will not pan out. They will sift through the strain, and leave your crowd with doubt. This is always something, you must try to avoid, or that crowd will toss your words, right into the void. You can say what you want, but always say what you mean. Here is my example; I wish the sky were green. If you’re going to make a choice, you better know what you want, 'cause if your theory has its holes, your decision's going to haunt. First make sure that they’re sound, then free em like a bird. Throw your thoughts into the sky, and let them all be heard. By the people that will flock, and they have open ears, just try not to change your vision, in a couple years. Certain people won’t forget, and they will soon admit, they found meaning in what you've said, so don’t you contradict. It shouldn’t be a challenge, if you follow line 5. The only thing you can safely say is it’s good to be alive. Now do not get me wrong, I know your brain will grow, Your opinions they will change, based on what you know. And now please don’t panic, you're not a hypocrite, As long as at the time, you believed in it. Now if you say what you've said, just for your own sake, You've broken fundamental rules; now give your head a shake. It’s not about an answer, that will surely please, You got to say what’s on your mind, if it cuts you to your knees. And now folks, once again, like I’ve already said, Your beliefs are going to change, like precious gems to lead. If someone doesn’t know this, and the bastard calls you out, You should know it doesn’t matter, that’s not what it’s about. And if your views turn inside out, stand on your two feet, and never speak a single word with your crosshairs on deceit. We know that with opinion, there is no right or wrong, Just make sure that you follow the tune of your own song. If you manage to change a mind, this is victory, there’s nothing quite like hearing 'em say "I guess I do agree". This is all good advice, to everyone it applies, If you don’t live by this you'll be caught in your own lies. It shouldn’t be a conscious effort; it should all come by itself, if it doesn’t than you’re liar, improve your mental health. Every line I’ve written here is indeed a fact, there’s no room for argument, do you agree with that? Now I'm done, there’s my view and I have written lots, but didn’t you listen to my poem? Get your own damn thoughts!
