Rights

You have the right to remain silent
 but most of us never do,
we all have an opinion, 
 fact fake news or fiction
giving some of our wisdom to impart
 knowing it doesn't always come from the heart,
we interpret what we think is said
 and our mouths forge quickly ahead,
without thought or contemplation
 additives upon our interpretation,
we fail to gather facts
 and speak openly with little tact,
until someone finally calls our bluff
 let's look a little deeper at all this stuff.
