Look before leaping


Those who are so quick to say 
That where there’s smoke, there’s fire, 
Might need to take a closer look: 
Perhaps it’s only clouds you’re seeing, 
Or a carefully framed or altered photograph 
Designed (as the media so often is) 
To capture your attention, not to inform. 
Understanding, knowing what is true, takes time: 
Be careful not to leap to conclusions.
