Notes About The Poem

Great Opinions Change

I had a talk with my opinion, 
The idea inside my head,
My head had lots to share with me, 
And this is what it said,

It said “Truth is like a compass, 
You can view from different sides,
What’s east to me, is west to you, 
Do you know what that implies?”

So I thought about this for a little, 
About different points of view,
And realised my opinion, 
Is only based on what I knew,

Now I know I don’t know a lot, 
A lot less than I thought,
So I’m going to go and refresh my mind, 
My opinion’s gone for a walk.

LOL. is true, we must be open to new ways all the time and yet hold to core values, I think thats never a conflict, although some may.
