The Commotion And Demotion Of Opinion Poem by John Sensele

Foibles human nature fraternize
Genotype or phenotype, academic argument
Remorse we sometimes sanitize
Overtly, implicitly we insert in our integument

Realizing not people's destiny we don't determine
Despite our prognostics
Driving margin of error thin
In our assessment gymnastics

We undertake with aplomb
As though our opinion, the gospel truth
Until predictions grow numb
Debunked by redoubtable Ruth

Until we grow weary
At our wits' end
Teary, teary, teary
As our wobbly knees bend.
