Argument

to nowhere

An argument starts
with someone's need
Opposed by another
seeing it as greed

 

Both points of view
disagree from the start
Making both blind
keeping them apart

 

If they are ever to reach
understanding and friendship
One of them must realize
the value of kinship

 

Adopting a tone
of quietly spoken speech
The argument can soften
and begin to fill the breech

 

When the other hears softness
it seems like an argument won
The beginning of understanding
before they are both undone

 

Resolution is now possible
to begin the cure
The difference has less value
agreement seeming more pure

 

This evaluation of an argument
hints that no one can win
Relationships can be lasting
when arguments don't begin

 

This situation was no argument
it was more about a solution
The way to better friendship
should be our resolution
