Don't be tempted to take action by what sounds or looks good. Prove it to yourself before you live it.
We're Headed Down a Different Road By Franklin Price 5/6/2016 We're headed down a different road Could be either good or bad The times are so much different now Than the “remember whens” we had Values that we had back then Being challenged ever day We, and the children, of the present time, Lead life a different way No longer are we waiting A day or two to get the news Or wait to visit world around To find out different views Getting answers to our questions Is just a touch for we Our smart phones tell us everything Including pictures that we see There is no need to travel To see how others live Social media will tell us It has oh so much to give Instantaneous a problem Gives us no time to think Is what we get a truth or lie? In our lives that's quite a chink Verbal information questionable Visual, edited and photo shopped The falseness of them rampant In our brains they must be cropped Take the time to ask the question Is what we see or hear a truth or lie? Paths in life dependent on it Should we laugh or should we cry? Must be careful what we send along And the things that we believe Don't send or act if it's not proven When we send or act we can't retrieve
