Dear Hannah,

our conversations.

have dwindled into

shouting matches

and "people's court" cases

posts and reposts

of articles that

align with our minds

to which we assign

absolute truth

with no consequences

where we want to prove

that our might is right

your wrong is strong

and always have both our say

... and our way

but civil discourse

- especially between dissenters -

promotes growth

it helps both parties

see that they are

two points

diametrically opposed

on the same circle

and that preservation

of the circle

is more important

than our "points"

check it ...
