WAR OF WORDS <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

Every day they mold your mind,
\nYes, my friend, it is very true,
\nFrom sunrise through to sunset,
\nThey are telling you what to do.<\/p>\n

There is a great war of words,
\nConstantly bombarding your ear,
\nSo if you want a word of advice,
\nBe careful with what you hear.<\/p>\n

It arrives from every direction,
\nTV, radio, online and the press,
\nShaping your view without end,
\nIt’s like a mental game of chess.<\/p>\n

The players try to convince you,
\nThere is truth in what they say,
\nThey all want you in their corner,
\nBelieving there is no other way.<\/p>\n

So you need to be very judicious,
\nDon’t just accept what they claim,
\nFollow due diligence and examine,
\nDon’t just be a pawn in their game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
