Rudeness

rudeness strikes
creates antagonism
based on expectation
of civil discourse
kindness beckons
arrogance
stands tall
YoI want, I want
YoI want, I must go
heartbreak
in the conscious
recognition
that people
will be people
and rudeness
dominates
YoHow sad for you
YoHow sad for me
when today dies
all that's left
is a memory
of what was
here's hoping
we remember
the good times
not rudeness
