Are You Right Or Are You Wrong

Our opinions are not the truth or the facts When you come to a red light you stop it’s the law That is a fact If someone gets shot in the head they will die That is an opinion not a fact We seem to mix our opinions and facts together blurring the truth Believing in others opinions more then the truth or facts We are suckers for a good story more then the truth When the news reports John Doe just killed his wife Automatic like a machine we believe he did with no facts We have been programmed to believe what is written to be true In school we were taught using books and to believe they told the truth So when you judge someone without any facts or truth Are you Right or are you Wrong?

Gosh, Bobby. There is no longer any right or wrong. They were outlawed (along with he and she) in Senate bill S12795a, which was passed late last----ha, ha: May,... Bobby May --- just pulling your leg. Enjoyed the poem. Best wishes, Gershon

Hi Bobby, If one judges without fact they are wrong( opinion based)"If someone gets shot in the head they will die" When I first read this I automatically took is as fact, but I'm sure that someone got shot in the head that didn't die. Good thought provoking poem- Alexis
