Insult to Injury

 “Anger destroys your soul”

(With thanks to Marvin Gaye)

You expect an apology;
what are you waiting for…
go about your day, live your life,
what makes you imagine anyone will admit they were wrong?

You believe there was injustice;
maybe there was…
so what if people were harmed,
just who do you think will take responsibility for the damage?

Your feelings were hurt;
was it their fault or yours…
who won the argument doesn’t really matter,
do you know who is winning the war?
