In real time we have to rely on the truth,
so opinions are neither here nor there.
They may sound good, once in a while,
but go for the facts if you care.
So many times you hear the spew,
the cursing, the lies and the chatter.
Others shout back and sound pretty good,
but what it’s based on is all that should matter
You often throw out an opinion,
when you don’t know the answer for sure.
This is a commonplace, practical thing
and with it you can endure.
Some voices are loud and talk over you
and you feel like walking away.
But patiently wait and deal with the facts
and talk quietly when you have your say.
You know there is anger and frustration,
but still they won’t deal with what’s real.
Your job is to stay calm and help them,
that’s what will give you appeal.
People want to change the facts,
they attempt to rewrite history.
Why they base their hope on all of the lies
remains to us a big mystery.
Lies repeated often enough
still are lies.
In the end though, my friend,
it’s the truth that flies.
