Least Said, Soonest Mended

LEAST SAID, SOONEST MENDED

It is wise to avoid arguing
With those whose opinions
Are opposed to one’s own
Or with the utterly stupid

It is especially important
If one is viewing the two
As but one and the same

Comments Are Us

COMMENTS ARE US

It is believed by many
The world was created
By a god or a goddess
And we hir creatures
One hand, many fingers

Or maybe two hands
With the one full of light
The other full of darkness
Most of the time it seems
We individuals are hybrids

Putting ever busy hands to
Every last thing imaginable
Building and then destroying
Drowning in our own opinions
Is is what is – Comments are us

Ah Now I See: Four By Six

AH NOW I SEE

What we dismiss as shit
(Beyond the bodily)
Is no more than something
That we don’t understand

Points Of View

POINTS OF VIEW

To assert one should live without opinions
Is both clearly impossible and paradoxical
But to defend them or argue them to others
Is both quite pointless and often dangerous

Facsimiles

FACSIMILES

Underground the truth
Leaving only faint echoes
… Viewpoints … Opinions

Just My Luck

JUST MY LUCK

Unfortunately
I have recently
Been befriended

By the well known
Franco-Irish know-it-all
Eamonn Ayviss

Who has undertaken
A fault-finding mission
From here to eternity

Even more unfortunately
He has an annoying habit
Of continually breathing

Opinions

OPINIONS

When I say what I think
Do I recall
That child
That also thought
That it was me
When I was small?
