"THE LAST WORD AND SILENCE"

There’s the child and the adult

a heated argument involved

You think the child’s always being told

but not all adults are the grown-ups

It’s funny when you see

how some define victory

by having the last word to say

while others are forced into silence

nothing new to this form of violence

You confuse silence with agreement

You assume you have won the argument

Others are much smarter than you think

No point in pushing

when you’re all about winning

instead of focusing

on finding the solution

Yes, please have the last word

We’d like to avoid your childish tantrum

I suppose your ego is way too delicate

Sometimes it’s fun to play dumb

when you’re the real joke all around.
