Intense Argument On the Playground

They were both breathing harder than dragons on steroids
Two kindergarten students who are usually friends.
I took one, another adult took the other.
They were both out-of-control-angry

Steam and ash was coming out of one’s mouth
The other one's left ear was shooting out smoke
It took a bit of calm down time to get to the crux of it
He settled down first; he has a tender heart.

She has six older brothers who pick on her.
She was threatening to beat him up and would not back down.
The argument was intense, and both were fully committed.
Are there a hundred ants on the playground or a thousand?

Methinks we are in the same boat too, trapped in lower mind
