Why waste your time in arguing with fools <br />Let them enjoy their opinions in life <br />Just to their own devices let them be <br />Since disagreements only lead to strife. <br /> <br />Why waste your time in arguing with those <br />Whose opinions you cannot hope to change <br />I suppose arguments are born of a power thing <br />In our own small ways we can be very strange. <br /> <br />Their views are set in concrete it does seem <br />Although with them you do not see eye to eye <br />Their own opinions surely are their own <br />And self thought to none we have a right to deny. <br /> <br />Why waste your time in arguing with fools <br />When they only believe in what they think they know <br />You tell them their opinions are all wrong <br />And of them you will only make a foe.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-waste-your-time/
