Communication
/Some say I’m argumentative, but that’s just their point of view
I can see the error of their ways, their values I eschew
It’s not so much that they are wrong, but more that I am right
I struggle with my patience as I help them see the light.
They seem so quick to anger, guess I’ve touched a tender spot
My path to their enlightenment viewed as some suspicious plot
I merely try explaining how my facts and figures are
But they hide behind semantics using twisted words to spar.
“You don’t know what you’re saying!” as they stare at me wide-eyed
Understanding my position not a thought that they have tried
Derision is the sharpened tool they use to slash and cut
They point in my direction as they say, “He’s just a nut!”
I’d thought that we could just discuss, a bit of back and forth
But efforts seemed to all go South, instead of heading North
Why is communication such a devilish skill to learn
It seems my only option is the other cheek to turn.
