A numerous, moment by moment, daily ritual,
automatic, or considered
decisions are personal;
stamped as our own.
Truth can be in short supply
when revealed, could be denied,
presumptions we must set aside
let facts, not rumours, in our minds, reside.
Whispered in our ears
played out before our eyes,
lies acquire a myriad of disguise
lurking in our peripheral vision
intention; to cause division.
What then should we do
when faced with a decision or two?
let our moral compass guide,
be willing to listen to another view,
don't just accept; question,
information accumulate-diverse providers assimilate,
we may find the track of truth arrives at an unexpected destination
delivers us to a different platform,
after making our mind up.
