BUT WE AGREED

Some disagree
Even agree to disagree, but
Do so respectfully

Then throw a hardball
When you are looking the other way
Hope they cause some pain
Rain on your parade

But what happens next
What is in the text?
Are they happier?
With a leg up on you

Or regretful because
They broke their pledge

I have to conclude
It was all talk in the first place
They cannot stand to be wrong

Have failed to apply critical thinking
To what they are doing or saying
Scavengers of information from
Unreliable sources

Words can be hypnotic
Draw one into the web
Not knowing or wanting to know
That only truth can vindicate

What can they do now?
Beat you up or walk away?
Neither is a good choice

They have offended
Broken an alliance
Not been true

I am okay
Need no rebuttal
Have no desire to rebuke

I can live happily with my position
Will not yield control of my emotion
I pray; may karma have its way
