Opinions Are Like…….
Opinions
1a : a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter
Are like a
2a : belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge
– M-W.com
In other words, information regurgitated based on nearly nothing
Formed in the mind and less strong than positive knowledge
Passed on to others of unconscious like mindedness in order
To recite and repeat, regurgitate, and repeat reckless rhetoric
You know, as a way to belong to a group that likes what it says
Over and over without ever questioning motive or malignancy
Besides, proof is only established by what is believed to be true
Facts get in the way when emotions and feelings carry more weight
Allegations, innuendoes, and suggestions are more fun to play with
Than repeatable realities and presentations of probable proof
In which occasionally someone might have to admit they are wrong
Then where would we be, evolved, and enlightened and courteous
How would the economy ever survive under those circumstances
If there were no indoctrinated caste systems of wealth and poverty
Every Jones, being like a Jones just to keep ahead of the Jones’s
Everyone, content, living in their own skin and being kind, following
That reciprocity rhetoric of do unto others as you would to yourself
Unlike the other Golden Rule that states
He who has the gold, makes the rules
My opinions are just that, opinions
Formed in the mind and less strong than positive knowledge
Hoping mostly that they inspire infinite questioning
In small groups whose only requisite is thinking individuals
Owing to a personal philosophy
That “I do not wish to be right
Only wish to be understood. “
