Broken Friendship

In a whirlwind two friends started to quarrel over nothing By the end of a long day it became something. Fists, kicks, bricks and insults were in the heat, The two friends were reluctant to accept defeat. In the storm the fight came from nowhere, But it was surely heading somewhere. The two couldn’t see eye to eye for a resolution And failed to reach for a solution. Like lightning the dispute came in a flash Their ship called friend went into a crash They encountered a hardship in a fume Saw no need to keep their friendship that was in a flame. Within the flood the argument flowed to separate Their much needed means to tolerate. Their feelings were broken into shattered piece That they could not assemble into one peace.

A well written picture of the cost of fighting with a friend and putting ego ahead of friendship, Mpho. Sad but true are these words of your poem. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
