Uninformed Deception

I am a cynic
and an educated fool.
History must be studied
in order to prove your point,
but more importantly,
in order to prove theirs
wrong.

It's all in the context.
You can study and prove
anything.
However, if you look at it
in the right context
you may learn even more.

And when you pepper facts
with your self-righteous opinions
all you do is lead others away
and down your same road
of uninformed deception.

I know you believe
what it is you say,
but that does not make it
any more the truth.

Do not look at things
from a mind frame
only to prove your point.

Look for what happened,
what really took place.

Look only for the truth.
