Opinions or Actions

Opinions or Actions

Your opinions dont mean anything, your comments fade away, as quick as your thoughts are processed, your words are yesterday

A few likes is all you'll get, maybe a mild debate, but remember this, your desire to change or influence minds are like fine strands of hay.

It is the needle that Peirce's the gut, the knife that pops the balloon, the bullet that rips the mind from The smouldering black plume.

Get out from under the social media umbrella, your thoughts are wasted there, actions are required to reach the summit. Your comments, nobody cares.

Hello Gerard...

Some people want to know or should I say need to know what others think about them or whatever...

Some people spend ridiculous money to look good...

It only makes me imagine what they would actually look like without all the fake, Plastic, Silicone and Botox that makes them look like they are having a hard time just talking and smiling...ย 

When you put yourself out there, it's an open door...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

Hi,

I wrote this when I was scrolling through a local news feed, at the end of each story is a comments section and my god, some people talk some utter crap , opinions flying about the place and everyone's opinion is like " the best", I wonder what these people are doing, do they realise that there opinions mean absolutely jack to the grand scheme of things, even my opinion on there opinions holds no relevance in life, it's all a load of my bol@#x.ย 

Anyway, thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed it, until tomorrow sparrowsong, I bid you goodnight.

....., My comments define me, i look at my life, my past struggles and excel them into modern issues, to identify who I am.

When my father was young he was abused by the church so I hate the church, I hate Catholicism and all it stands for.

I, I, I, I am in pain therefore I am in pain, look at how I identify.

With many an I, putting myself down because of the indirect individuals who sculpted my family tree.

Now I sit and comment to aide and massage my ego because I relate to the mind and I have become what I perceive as me, the I that I-dentify with.

Your poem is telling me that I need to perform an act, a physical movement to penetrate a fictitious frequency but what you cannot see is that by simply commenting on some irrelevant story, I have engaged you, spuured you on to create a poem, therefore my action, However subtle has inadvertently created an action in you and I believe in string theory, I do not know you gerard, but I do.

Act for me.ย ย

Brilliant Gerard! I don't feel I have to say much because I believe we're on the same wavelength. Great writing.

i had a debate with myself on whether i should write my opinion ย but since this is on opinion why not.....
i have to say comments do matter if not to most members then to some of us on this site at leastย 
here is the one place we are allowed to unleash our deep dark thoughts without restraint to support our fellow members and to lend a hand to those who may not have someone reach out to them. i guess when it all boils down it's all about place and timing .. that's my opinionย

And I totally respect all opinions and comments on this site, if you read my comments on this poem you would understand.

I wrote this after reading a local news feed called the journal here in Ireland, there is a comments section were people have There say on international and national news, the comments are wasted, little debates on meaningless stories that become yesterday.

I hope I haven't upset you, I want you to continue commenting on my work and be outspoken everytime because I believe if we have opinions in life then we must learn to be called out and challenged on our opinions.

โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹Be free to write, I will never judge and going forward, take my work with a pinch of salt, if I was true to my poetry I would be locked up in a padded room.

Thank you for reading and commenting.
