Opinions

Discrepant thoughts encumbered
With superstitions bound
Occurring in great number
Presumptive speech is found.

Dogmatic words being spoken
With countless hours spent
Books from books the token
Diversities to vent.

Arguments unending
Nothing vital gained
Final truth pretending
Last conclusions feigned.

Viewing this dilemma
For the causes being
Everyone the "expert"
Of what they have not seen.

Biased folk emphatic
Touting "proofs" their own
Ignoring contradictions
Concocting "facts" not known.

The wise sometimes short-sighted
The simplist sometimes right
With errant knowledge blighted
Sense gives way to might.

In humbleness show kindness
With love and grace be true
Conviction without blindness
Divisive words be few.

Fair-minded without libel
We must with one accord
Delve deep into the Bible
Congruent with the Lord.

- Icorigin
