A Showdown That Won'T Slow Down

There’s confliction and contradiction, opposition inside a deep collision- Encounters that lead to arbitration, the fear of making the wrong decision. No rest found without accommodation, a disagreement without alleviation, if only there was an agreeable negotiation. There’s a showdown that won’t slow down, a combat fought without food for thought- No safety is around in a crowded town, for honest peacemaking was never taught, as we are bound in the lost and found. We are all just caught here, earth bound... living a life where harmony is never sought. Rhyme Battle: Showdown Poetry Contest Juli- Michelle March 7, 2018

The problem is, everybody is in it for themselves and that's why they never seek harmony. Nobody respects a different point of view. Congrats on your win sweet Luloo. John

Great commentary on why people don't find harmony; they don't seek it! CONGRATS, Luloo! Janice
