Are You a Contributor?
By Franklin Price
8/5/2019

Are you a contributor, in this world in which we live?
Are you doing good or bad, with what you have to give?
Not all about the money, but also the attitude
When you contribute your opinion, are you considerate or rude?

You may think that your opinion is the truth and  is the best
You got it from the internet, and, for you,  it passed the test.
Or watched it on the TV, from CNN, or maybe Fox
Uncorroborated info, puts you, the finder, in a box

Whether money or opinion, to contribute, you can lose
Being wise or being foolish, either way, is yours to choose
Seek the truth, and not the spin, when deciding on the side
And do so very carefully, or you'll be taken for a ride

The Earth is in upheaval, both with nature and with man
Of  the way we work together, I  am really not a fan
The internet and TV and their spins have set the pace
Political opinions, not the truth,  now leads the race
