Opinions

Opinions matter, I am clear in head I do hear them with courtsey and respect They help me pick up any useful thread Opinions matter, I am clear in head I like opinions kindness that embed For peace and tranquility they help spread Opinions matter, I am clear in head I do hear them with courtsey and respect Opinions that are unsolicited With calm they can be filtered silently They need to be discarded if dim witted Opinions that are unsolicited Their usefulness is often limited In one's mind can be deleted quitely Opinions that are unsolicited With calm they can be filtered silently Democracy lets opinions expressed Even if it's against establishment Diversity gets beautifully dressed Democracy lets opinions expressed Gives voice to the ones that are dispossessed Lessens their class difference punishment Democracy lets opinions expressed Even if it's against establishment 26.6.2020

Mohan, you have lucidly and creatively spoken on the good, the bad, and the in-between of opinions. I especially like the part about quietly ignoring dimwitted opinions! :-) Janice

Noble sentiments, all. And only possible in a true democracy, as you've said, Mohan. In America, the darker America of Mr. Trump on the right (or wherever he is these days) and the BLM crazies on the left, it's becoming more and more risky by the day to speak out against the establishment. A very unfortunate development! Nicely penned triolet! :) gw
