Who should help determine how we lead our lives?
Points to Ponder
Thanks to Buckshot for the thought

Here are some points to ponder
About who should have a say
About our lives, and how we live them,
The how, the why, the way
Those for whom we care the most
Our husbands and our wives
Our children, parents, siblings
Friends who make for better lives
The devout and caring clergy,
When they practice what they preach,
Our important educators
When they stick to what they teach
The doctors who take care of us
And are concerned about our health
Those who affect our incomes
Our positions and our wealth
Celebrities are not among these
They are there to entertain
The same goes for pro athletes
To give advice, they should refrain
The Media and all the news
Should be always verified
Affirmed to our satisfaction
May still be taken for a ride
Last and least, the politicians
Who only care of what they think
To listen much to what they say
Will drive us all to drugs and drink
Should we ever want to speak ourselves
The first amendment says we may
Our minds should dwell before we speak
Can't withdraw the words we say
