I see this phenomenon everywhere. Opinions and direction swings like a pendulum, from one end of the spectrum to the other, only passing the middle ground, but lingering at the extremes. The saying ‘Two wrongs don’t make a right!’ applies here. These swings are much more common and prominent due to media programming. And here I mean the media programming their consumers. I for one like to decide for myself what is good and right for me, and despise the shits at both ends of the spectrum, and choose what I watch, accept and believe.

Forever opinions will swing
from one to the other extreme,
only monetarily passing sanity
just to move on to another insane form of clarity.

When the left wing fights the right wing
the bird can’t fly and will not sing.
Without concession there are no progression
and the bird might die from this indiscretion.

There is another opinion that should be heard,
and that is the needs and desires of the bird.
Come on people stop being absurd
and realize you are wings on the same bird.
