Eskimo Snowman Fighting White Fire
I know very little about life a fact of
which i am freely willing to admit
And I take it not as an offense when
I am proven wrong although I am
headstrong
But stubborn ain't a fault I am willing
to be labeled with
Otherwise why on earth am I so
proficient at it or am I even lying
about that
If anything what I have learned over time
is that trying to argue a case or point
with a certain type of person
You can do so till you are blue in
the face but all you have in fact done
or achieved
Is wasting your own time because
they call do all day and love nothing
better than their own voice
Matter's not a single thing what is
coming out as they have never once
been beat or proved wrong
And they have taken on all comer's
however intelligent they are or what
argument they offer up in response
They all every single one of them
tried but gave up due to to their
superior intellect they eventually
realized
The self-righteous can not be bettered
nor overcome as the only thing they
truly believe in is what comes out and
is said by them
Everything else is superfluous and
not up for debate or changing
Even if they were on fire and you we're
stood in front of them with an extinguisher
telling them they themselves were on
fire burning did they want putting out
They are still and would be so inclined
to say thank you very much but no sorry
I am cold
You don't per chance have a spare
jacket on you do you
Because id very much like to carry
on where we last left off before we
got so rudely interrupted by this
freakishly cold indoor spell
Unfortunately for both of us when it
comes to this here game the rules are
clear as black and white
2 individual opponents stacked against
1another playing by completely different
rules
1in his own head making it up as he
goes along to suit himself completely
oblivious to the fact that he is cheating
With the other trying his best to catch up
until he eventually gives up realizing
How on earth can you let alone compete
much as win against an inferior opponent
If at the very outset they don't or never
will possess or understand the meaning
or definition
Of what winning is or that loosing equates
to defeat
