Confrontation

"Why do tempers fly?"
in my experiences the
aftermath is  senseless
feelings of uneasiness.

Words are exchanged out
of bitter rage. Drawn from
haste remarks are made
that will stain our souls
Uneasy feelings of regret
fester causing a rotten pain.

Still I ask myself "why do
tempers fly?", when it's
plain to see that conversation
beats confrontation in the blink
of an eye.

Words can be spoken without
sounding provoking. Threatening
words of vicious intent should
never be said. Instead haste and
rage should be laid straight to rest.
