We all knew everyone had an opinion.
We all knew everyone had a right to their opinion.
But we didn’t used to have to hear/read/be exposed to every single one of them.

I can’t help but feel a little bit sorry
For those of us who remember when “news” meant facts.
And we got to base our own opinions on facts
Then we discussed, argued, laughed over
Our opinions with our friends.
Now we try to pick through opinions reported as news to figure out what the facts are
So we can get back to forming our own opinions
To discuss, argue and laugh over with our friends.
It’s exhausting.
