Voices

Today I was awakened by those of media, Who loudly speak above all the rest. Conveying thoughts that they were burdened, By those who failed to pass their test. They opined with a great volume, With vocal passion to be heard. As if theirs was the greatest truth, And any others was just absurd. These statements were rooted to sport, Involving some history and their trade. While some were viewed as foolhardy, Though others were just simply made. Yet through all the gossip and rhetoric, The players involved are verbally maligned. Where they needed a fresh new start, Or they were weighted without anything kind. This began the free-agency free-for-all, When dollars exchange more than common sense. As lives and families are uprooted and moving, To new geographies, whether offense or defense.
