Push Back

If you push me then I'll push you

said the boy to his long time friend

I know better and that's for sure

how dare you buck my trend

For I know best most certainly

said he to him betrayed

and dare not you resist my words

by that which you portray

From things past fought and now anew

brought back to rend again

I'll brandish you with great resist

this argument must win

For disagree with you I shall

for your thoughts be amiss

how can you think such worthless things

and trust thy mindless bliss

And never more will I relent

or listen to thy cause

my mind is closed my heart is hard

against thy life long laws

But then alas a newfound word

has come into my life

that which you said hath partial truth

and causes inward strife

Perhaps the push back in my soul

hath been a smidge too much

and bend shall I to reach to you

to understand thy clutch

And rather then to thrust away

his friend to distance parts

the boy who pushed and pushed again

looked deep within his heart

And when the push back came again

against his friendly foe

his heart and soul was kept in mind

when disagreements flowed
