Time I Had Some Time Alone
and I feel fine
Anyone else would have sidestepped the trap
You want to argue til I come undone
I tried to tell you, the whole world is flat
Like it or not, we revolve round the sun
.
Everyone's laughing til everyone cries
You don't understand the hate that you bring
You're breaking my heart with all of your lies
No one can tell you - you know everything
.
This one dimension is all that there is
No one can tell you the world is on fire
Can't be all that deep - the Earth is a disc
"Alternative facts?" - a deadly quagmire
.
I don't have time to consider your proof
Father forgive. They know not what they do.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

the last line inspired so much well done
This was a fresh perspective on the dialogue poetry and I really liked your wordplays!
Like Anna said, that last line is inspired. I love how it flips the righteousness in the poems undercurrent and compliments the science voice with faith to tell a message all of its own. Great idea.
Wow! I love that you made the last line into a Bible quote. It is perfect that way. <3
This is an excellent reminder of the state of political dialogue in our nation. You are more forgiving than I, Christy. Excellent entry to the challenge.
Very well written Best of luck 👍
