Because peace is more important than winning...
Like arrows shot right through a weary heart
these words in anger pierce the tender flesh.
This gift of verse, each eager to impart
feels wasted as our egos wax afresh.
Why can't we just agree to disagree
and check our pride outside the cyber door?
Perhaps agape love still holds the key
to ending this vain philosophic war.
There was a time we shared each other's muse
and wrote a song for all the world to hear.
Such loving lyrics penned in rainbow hues
gave both of us a vision that seemed clear.
To ponder losing this I cannot bear
these humble words reveal that I still care.
