Survivor

I often wondered which of us would

Ultimately outlast the other

In this snarling war of words where

Reason is a casualty.

 

Grappling like jungle beasts who know

The tactics of our foe

And seek to slash with razor teeth

All semblance of reality.

 

Can’t remember who was first,

Don’t recall the reason why,

Only know that it’s been going on

Far longer than it should.

 

Pass the blame from left to right

To left again, and on it goes.

Don’t know how to stop it

If we should, if we could.

 

No way to resolve the difference.

No hope to revive.

One moves on and one is left

Struggling to survive.
