Same Landscape, Different View
I have my opinions.
You might say, a whole lot of them.
Most times, I simply cannot drink from
a glass of Kool-Aid I’ve been handed.
I may see or hear something which
is troubling, especially injustice.
That sparks a fire in me.
Each person harbors opinions.
The difference is that some will
hush and masquerade what is felt.
They will smile while sipping on a drink
they’ll hate to swallow,
or ask “How are you?”
without stopping for a few seconds
to hear your response.
Some, choose to be politically correct
and not speak freely.
Yes, I have my opinions.
Others have theirs.
Difference is I speak mine aloud
even if I’m called judgemental.
I will hear that, as just another opinion.
