The arguments range far and wide. <br />Opinions held stubbornly <br /> will be adhered to by each side <br />Because we do not want to see. <br /> <br />That we may be wrong possibly. <br />Brain washed by what we have been taught. <br />By teachers who most probably <br /> had not expended too much thought. <br /> <br />Passed on the tenets of their creed <br />for which they had no evidence. <br />They merely listened and agreed <br /> which shows a lack of competence. <br /> <br /> A teacher should be confident <br /> that what he teaches is the truth. <br />Mere words are insufficient <br /> when you are educating youth. <br /> <br />Challenge all you have been taught. <br />Although in fact it may be true <br />Do not accept without much thought. <br />The currently prevailing view. <br /> <br />Each creed will claim they are correct. <br /> It ‘s human nature so to do <br /> This will not change. I don’t expect <br /> We’ll ever know which one is true. <br /> <br />12/07/2009 <br />http: / blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-are-mistaken/
