What do you think

What do you think

You know about me

About anything

The tip-tapping of a keyboard

The only clue

So many opinions

Become unglued at midnight

Too much trust placed

In messaging

Video chat lines

For the lonely heart

Reading too much into poetry

Clearly closer to doggerel

Than Whitman

Less spiritual than Blake

Disagreeable

Complaints about language

Punctuation

A source of opprobrium

To the pedant

With delusions of grandeur

Creeping nearer

With every drink

Careless whispers

Scream loudest

In daylight

Paranoid responders

Shoot from the hip

At any hint of left field

Which slides closer

To socialism

To be acceptable

In mixed company

When religion

Is used as a measuring stick

To beat the humanist

Over the head

Until they drop away

Beaten out of sight

Some words shout

Louder than others

Even written down

Hate speech

Is no freedom to defend

Truth is never certain

Until it is

There is no honour

In quoting honesty

As a reason to offend

Would life end

If we stopped to think

Of the consequence

To any action

We might take

Whatever we do

There will always be

An equal and opposite

Reaction

An interaction

Of opposing forces

Impacting blindly

And without purpose

According to the notion

Of e-motion

Eventually

We will come to understand

All things are relative

Anchored by time, place

And relative dimensions

In space,

Tune in

Leave word

Sign out.
