Never Assume

NEVER ASSUME* We are told to never assume, to guess, or to anticipate or even try to presume. So if we try to articulate of things we aren't sure, do we assume or shut the door on thoughts we may abhor? So don't assume, just give the facts that you are sure to know. And you will find it often stumps your mind how the facts become just so. The facts somehow get twisted up even though you know for sure that you were right and others wrong no matter to whom you implore. That's really known as politics when facts aren't facts and we assume the facts are just made up for tricks. Then no one knows for sure who's right or wrong or just what is the score. One side says the other is wrong and tries to give the true facts. But their facts are no more true than a fairy tale or an old song. So once again we should not assume to know what we really know. Just toss it up and then presume the facts got lost as round and round you go. * This poem was written as the result of listening to political debates and political messages, talking points, and commercials during the 2012 elections.
