Empty Cans

 
Today I choose not to engage
in the communal festival
of shared cyber rage..

It's not that my anger has dissipated
or that this friction addiction within
has been satiated..

I just got hit by the realization
that the constant conflict
churning these pointless
circular arguments
is a no win situation
which only widens the schism
between family and friends..

All this shit breeds is mutual resentment
and a major sense of inner emptiness
with only our divisive opinions
to keep us company
