Objectivity

A poem with the prompt 'objectivity' written for Poets United

Look at all sides

Objectivity

Is my opinion dressed by the past,

shaped by my experiences,

tailored to suit me?

Then I must take off my high hat 

There is objectivity in store for me

Where do I find it?

Is what I study free of subjectivity

or is it confined by the information

between the covers of the books

chosen by me?

Objectivity is quite hard you see

It is like spring cleaning your brain

You throw out all judgement

You open all doors

to let in fresh findings

You clean out the fiction 

and stick to the facts

It is like rolling a dice,

don’t look at only one side.
You score much

higher counting

all sides including

the ones you cannot see.

That’s how it is with objectivity

If my opinion isn't  married to objectivity
it is just a belief or a view
and carries the danger of not being true
you might split up over an argument
when it is true for me but not for you
