crying upside down

Argument

I was trying to start

 a conversation, an education:

a way to reach the dark-hearted ignorance

 and nurse it back to health in knowledge

but

my consequential words

slammed against your brick-walled brain

the china shop to your bull-

shit.

Sometimes all the work you put in to a well-crafted argument seems futile when pitted against an uneducated and close-minded opponent, but it is still important to try and have conversations with people who have opposing views from you. I felt like this feeling was better expressed in a poem than in an angry Facebook rant, thus this poem.
