Do We Need More Debates?


 



Here’s what the hype has clearly created

Two of our chosen now stood and debated

Silver tongued speakers wearing watches gold plated

Some of the lines and the lies have grown dated

The data gets carved and just slightly misstated

Was this the wisdom for which we’ve waited?

So who can be loved and who should be hated?

Our highlighted differences will be over-rated


Perhaps we might remember something attributed  to Mark Twain…

It is far easier  to convince people of something wrong than it is to convince them that they may be wrong…”.  

And.. one might add… We live in a time  when we might not believe everything  we might choose to read, see, or hear, however we can certainly read, see, or hear everything we might choose to believe
