Holding firm
in one’s convictions,
through verbal wars
and consequential victims

Allegations flame
on fiery topic,
focused in macro
or microscopic

An issue’s discussed
and over-debated
until all sides turn aggravated,
becoming defensive,
then offensive
with missiles of misdirected rage

This outlook not stubborn
just secure in position,
aware of each side
in this opinion division

Anger resurrected
from set-ways and old age,
ground is held firm
intensive and stern,
confident that beliefs
will hold true
