Division and conflict
squabbles and squawking
Angry Birds With forks and Dingle hoppers in their hair
fantasy of court jesters long ago

a difference of opinion does not equal an argument
since when did unmatching socks equal divorce?

such anger and for what?
what goal?
what end game?

we all will die. Why must we waste such little time on a pissing contest of words and opinions which will never define a winner?

why listen to The endless monotone of you’re wrong you’re wrong you’re wrong
blah blah blah such distraction from the truth

all will go, none will stay.
 so why does being right matter so much?
there is no medal for winning, where opinions just go in circles, age over age.

celebrate opinions like music,
as varied as the trees and fungi of our world.

why is what humans are remembered for:
just the never-ending death of squabbles and squawks of ill-tempered birds the shiny objects in our beaks?
