Left Right Center

Left, right center.
In this contest, I will enter.
Any thoughts that come to mind.
About the world we've come to find.

I have opinions about opinions.
That people freely spew.
I reallly don't appreciate.
That they think they have that right to do.

An issue here, an issue there.
It's not a wonder I just stare.
Just what do we hope to accomplish.
When nothing happens when we make a wish.

Politically speaking is a foolish game.
Most pundits I know just seem kinda lame.
What ever direction you tend to lean.
Try to be kind, don't be mean.

here I am again. This is my fourth time at this poem of yours. I gravitate toward this one, I guess. Just here to say HELLO and have a great day.

Clever verse Robert, a lot said in these lines. Have to tell you that being mean now and then keeps me balanced, can't be kind all the time! :) Nice to find you writing again and wish you the best in the contest. Luv, Elizabeth
