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
