I sometimes choose to read the news. <br />Although I seldom share the views. <br />Which the so called experts express, <br />those gentlemen who use the press <br /> <br />to try to gain my sympathy <br /> for some outlandish theory. <br />To which they give their full support <br />but very little serious thought. <br /> <br />I may be wrong but I suspect <br />these pundits really do expect <br />That I should believe their every word. <br />However patently absurd <br /> <br />But I am not fooled so easily <br /> as they seem to think I’ll be. <br />I’m wise enough to disagree. <br /> With their brand of idiocy. <br /> <br /> I gather facts which I cross check <br />from other sources that find. <br />A pinch of salt, I need a peck <br />They do not think I have a mind. <br /> <br />I’m not incapable of thought <br />I draw my own conclusions <br />A little trick that life has taught <br />me.I have no illusions. <br /> <br />They’re only men the same as me. <br /> Entitled to their point of view <br />however stupid it may be. <br />I am quite sure you know this too. <br /> <br />14-Jun-07<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/selectivity/
