as we all know, opinions are like assholes
we all have one…
in a world of critics and skeptics
opinions are subject to fact-checks
based upon disbelief
or the PC police
few opinions stand the test of time
and the rest are borderline
people naturally opinionate
it’s in our DNA to debate
you’re either right or wrong
making it hard to get along
opinions have led to war
destroying lives and more
peace-loving people say
it doesn’t have to be this way
the people who spend their time really communicating
are taking an important path towards eliminating hating
learning to have a successful conversation
is the way to reinvigorate a polarized nation
it’s important young and old listen to one another
instead of stepping on words disrespecting the other
for civility to return to our divided society
we need to call out destructive impropriety
It needs to stop
Everyone needs to listen
Then we can talk
New York Babylon
politicians who don’t get along
parades of stupidity by the deplorably strong
images that are just plain wrong
freedom is facing a swansong
swing low and bang the bong
racists don’t belong
shades of King Kong
a saint in a sarong
pimps playing ping pong
the growing throng
you might as well come along
after all, we all belong
“What is praiseworthy?” Socrates asked Voltaire
“Sacrificing one’s life for another” he replied, answering the dare
“I’m not so sure” Rousseau countered with an imperious air
“It’s in the eye of the beholder,” spoke up Jean-Paul Sartre
“Who can truly say for sure?” Plato posited as he walked by
Spinoza suggested someone is praiseworthy if they don’t lie
“I think there’s plenty of room” said Hume, “to wrongly misapply”
Then all the philosophers threw up their hands asking “Why try?“
