two ships, it's dark

It's a grip of one side
and a single mind refuses
to aim for balance
and as these ships pass in the dark
the weight of one side causes us to sink
and we look up with hateful eyes
waving a fist full of disgust
and before we realize we're dead
we remember how right we are.
So our refusal to mediate
and our persistence of hate
will not be a legacy remembered,
but just another
sunken ship forgotten on the ocean floor.
