Jousting

Only the foolhardy joust
To settle right from wrong, truth from lie.

The gallop towards your antagonist
Is no journey to resolution
No meeting of minds.

The armour of conviction does not protect
The chest imploding conclusion
To any particular slight.

It merely unseats one point of view
And instates a wooden and pointed perspective
As the indefatigable subjugator.

The urge to joust
Is the compulsion to defeat.
