It is easy for easily swayed people to be more easily swayed by the internet and cable television.

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
