Three Sides To a Story

There are three sides to every story 
Your side my side and the fact 
How you look at a story depends on what side you sit but what are the facts 
So many of us like to hear a lie 
Sometimes the truth is hard to hear 
Don't listen to one side of a story, the truth gets lost in one's perspective 
All voices must speak
Then you determine the facts 
The truth will never be silent 
Don't trust your eyes, from your view it all looks the same
We all have our own truth 
How fair is it to imprison a man without knowing the truth 
Look at both sides of the coin 
You maybe surprise at what you find 
It's never easy to walk away from anyone so listen to the two voices that speak
Don't convict a man without evidence that's not honesty 
Not all is fair in love and war because everyone wants to win 
Most of us are victims of our selfishness only want the best for ourselves. 
Listen to both side of the story

Heidi Sands August 7, 2017 at 12:49 PM True Sonya. Both sides of the story must be told. I have also seen some shady cases this made me think of , with wrongfully convicted. It is sad what goes on with the system. This is an important poem. Sonya Stewart August 7, 2017 at 1:01 PM I hope it's am important poem
