Two sides

There are two sides to it as there are to a story
There are two sides to Pulling a cord
The right that is right and the left that may have left
Grudges may be left
Lest a rancor in view
Something that occurred not once nor twice

And none to assure that instance
Two can play pull this cord
And that begat a discord
From styles that degenerate to a disagreement then argument
Erupting from a form of disgust, insecurity or neglect

Greed lack of care or insincerity
To generate distrust malice
Then hate born out of history or comments
A language with two accents
Or a third that intrudes based on personal interest

Picking who to yield to and who to pursue
Love gone on vacation
What used to be loads of pleasantries?
Now a league of queries
It may get physical with some breaks
In bones or in time

And some colours then adorn the faces
We keep the lies to stay as one
And say it’s a fall
Ignorant of the referee’s time check
And keep holding on
To the love that once glow
Believing in the strength that comes from the offspring

Breeding another broken generation
Not wanting to quit a toxic partner
Or raising hand in surrender
Not calling for help yet
But building a castle with depressed bricks
Prayers are continually said with an unconnected heart

Sometimes some liquor may be introduced
A whip, a knife, a gun or some bit of sniper
Suffocation, strife or a push
And the angels welcome a soul
Two has become one
All the strife will reduce the one
Or even the two, three or four to
Only a dirge
