Argue

A spark; a word; steel striking flint; an innocent approach. A spark returned; a meaning bent, a look of dark reproach. Explanations transmutate; defense becomes attack. For reasons lost now, anger flares in waves of red and black. Thrust and parry, slash and cut; the rage all that remains. Your only purpose is to hurt the one who gives you pain. For dignity and wounded pride; for justice and for truth. Noble reasons give excuse to fight with claw and tooth.
