The Arguement

His two brothers were arguing
Back and forth
Over nothing in particular,
And everything in general.
Neither one was really listening
To what the other had to say.
Each was adamant
That he was right
And the other brother was wrong.
He tried to mediate,
But they weren’t listening to him either.
He wondered why
He felt so powerless
Until it was pointed out
He was being
Just as righteous as them.
Underlying his insistence
That it shouldn’t be that way
Was his judgment
That both were wrong
For the way they were being.
It didn’t seem to be a message
Either was willing to hear.
