Respecting One Another's Views Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Throughout life, I've found that when talking to people,
if for some reason they don't agree with you and think
their point or issue is more important than yours, they
will start adamantly yelling and screaming at you.

Trying to get their point across, even if it's not correct,
they will persist in this respect, so just listen to them
yell, seeing that their ego is standing tall and knowing
they will not listen to reason or you at all.

It's alright, just listen, let their anger abate, it does
not affect who you, yourself are, it is a first baby step
to teaching that person how to give and take both good and
bad.

It's the beginning of understanding between two people, a
good thing in the end for both of them as they find common
ground between them afterwards.
