It's Only My Opinion
By Franklin Price
8/4/2019
It's only my opinion
Of what's happening today
Many don't think much about
What we do or what we say
Mass media has sped up life
Taken time to think away
We're inclined to have opinions
React too soon to have our say
No longer are we face to face
For a handshake and a talk
We post and tweet, maliciously
Walk the trouble-maker's walk.
Comment on most anything
Whether it be truth or not
Don't take time before we post
To further stir the pot
Most everyone has cable
The internet a further choice
If we find what we relate to
We have found a common voice
There's TV now for everything
For all the major views
The pressure's on for ratings
Each is spinning their own news
Easy now for us to see
If there are others on our side
Just google and we'll find them
And they'll take us for a ride
No longer can we hide from life
Pressured now to make a choice
Can find a million just like us
To have a common voice
If we're into violence
Or predjudice of race
It will not take much searching
To find ourselves a common place
These conditions are astounding
And encourage mindless rage
We need to work together
In turning to a better page
Can't let ourselves be sucked in
By the easiness to choose
An open mind will open doors
A closed mind only lose
