№ 324: When We Disagree

My side is right.
Your side is wrong.
And I suspect you
knew that all along.

Oh sure, you cite reasons
for your “mistaken” belief,
but you know these “reasons”
are a fig leaf.

Your tortuous thinking
just makes me scoff.
Therefore, let me ask,
“Who's paying you off?”

You have to know better,
deep down inside.
Unless you are stupid. . .
or your brain's fried.

If we're being truthful
you have to agree,
all the best people
agree with me.

Now I want to be fair.
I don't want to condemn,
but I'm starting to think
you're one of THEM!

And if you're THEM,
you devil weevil,
how could I have missed all these years
you're pure evil?
