We had a conflict - he and I.
Was not a hot impassioned fight,
but more the kind where reason's clash
becomes a contest who is right.
He said man was an animal
whose end was death and life a dream,
And I said that might do for him
but I held man in more esteem.
He quoted Neitsche, Satre, and I -
prophets Moses and Malachi.
I own I thought I came out best
but with no judge, we let it lie.
Still, if I'm right and he is wrong
then I may shout it loud and long.
While he - though right as right may be
can never do the same to me.
