Knockdown-drag out

So, we disagree…. Big deal! So what!

Let's not make it World War III
A knock down-drag out mugging
With but one survivor when it's done.

Let's not say those hurtful things that
Anger brings to lesser minds,
Firing darts into the heart,
Emptying our verbal gun.

I have so much love for you,
Seeds of honor and respect that
I'll not seek to desecrate the
Firm position that you hold.

Instead I'll seek to use your eyes
To see your view, to stand your stand.
Seeking out the humble piece
Of common ground our hearts enfold.

Knock down. Drag out. Winner takes all.
That's no way for lovers to be.
Compromise is easy when you
Look to see what others see.
