I believe that I've been infected by my opinions.
They have become my disguised uncertainty,
aggressively challenging my conviction.
They speak contrary beliefs,
things I don't want to know.
They oppose my personal wisdom,
and always question my authority.
And you have it too,
but for now they are invisible.
I fear for you,
because your tragic end is near.
This poem is a bit random and has no clear message because of the fact that it is the jumbled from another poem. The poem does suggest that our opinions are sometimes our worst enemy, because we think we know so much and act like know-it-all's. I found it difficult to create a clear message without having the same idea as the original poem.
We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender...

The Fight for Facebook
Mark Zuckerberg, a 35 year-old Harvard graduate, is one of the richest men in the world. How? Facebook. Originally a college online photo directory, Facebook has travelled all over the world and has made Zuckerberg's personal wealth a whopping $13.5 billion! His riches came with a price, though; many people have sued for ownership of Facebook. This, along with the popular blockbuster The Social Network, has given Zuckerburg a bad reputation.
We sometimes forget that Zuckerburg created Facebook in college, and that everybody does crazy things at that age. I think the reason behind picking on him was because of his success; people want to find a way to steal his riches. The Social Network gives Zuckerburg a "snide and sarcastic in a cruel way" personality. All this has weighed down on Zuckerburg's shoulders, yet he just brushed it off and kept on growing.
Zuckerburg did what he thought was the right thing, even if others didn't agree. He has made mistakes, but he didn't let it get in the way of his work. Zuckerburg has pushed through all the bullying and has made it through the maze with money to prove it. You don't have to like Zuckerburg or agree with him, but you have to admit, he has found a way to the top.
