My friend,
you are stronger.
Much stronger
than me.
Unquestionably.
My friend,
you are richer.
Much richer
than me.
Undoubtedly.
My friend,
in a one-on-one
I'd lose
to your bullying.
Definitely.
My friend,
let not
your conjectures,
my points of view,
queer the pitch.
My friend,
let my friend
talk to me.
Not your ego
to my ego.
My friend,
let's lay down
our egos.
Pick up facts
as our weapons...
My friend,
let facts win.
Your facts
or my facts
be damned.
My friend,
when facts win
unquestionably,
undoubtedly,
definitely...
Then, my friend,
we both would have won.
Author Notes:
Friends, acquaintances, neighbours often get caught in such situations...
Made worse by egos fed a diet of misinformation - some deliberate, some by a lack of attention to details.
And aggravated by pure unrestraind egos on the rampage.
