Contrarian

If I say it’s cold
You say it’s hot

I say it is
You say it’s not

I feel that people
Really ought

Be striving to
Each other view

Lovingly, to understand
Before they turn their hand

Denigration to —
Apparently, though, you

Thrive on feeling
Unappealing

To give you your full mead:
You adm’rably succeed!
