Overt Opinions Poem by John Sensele

Opinions berate; opinions irritate
But souls enjoy their onion opinions
Witty, silly, pesky or pretty on which sages meditate
Punctuate, fluctuate and cogitate several times zillions.

Opinions sometimes unite souls of different persuasions
If room surfaces to accommodate divergent views
Based on sound logic and not on arbitrary decisions
Meant to muzzle opinions which take exception to rating screws.

Opinions don't correspond to immutable facts
That speak volumes about their inner worth and veracity
In intellectual discourses and in drama acts
From Skakespeare and Wole Soyinka's electricity.

Opinions raise tempers and temperatures
In the English Premier League where Leicester
City against all odds append title signatures
And put to shame erstwhile contenders who can't deliver any better.
