The Benefit of Doubt

Some thoughts about what's been happening to the world for a while now.

If you believe you're right,
If you can see the truth with your own eyes,
Think twice.

If you believe they're blind
And wrong to disagree, to laugh, to frown,
Slow down.

They can be wrong, of course,
Sometimes it's one who sees the surest way,
Not they.

So go and have your say,
But listen to what others have to bring,
And think.

It's good to have a faith,
It's also good sometimes to question it
A bit.

Because at times its light
Can blind you, lead astray and hide from view
What's true.
