Poem: Struggle

A poem of mine, read by me. (I block users that flame. I welcome constructive criticism and dialog. If you're looking to be hateful, please go elsewhere.)

Struggle

Why do you fight
just to be right
determined to win
no matter what the cost?

It seems silly to me.

In a free market
there's value in competition
the give and pull
makes the dollar work harder

but between people
that struggle can overwhelm
it can take over
and leave us divided

it can make someone
think their right
when everyone knows
their wrong

I would much rather
gather my forces at home
and be in a team
that stands against the world
instead of against each other.
