You stepped on another person’s territory,
Causing tension that leads to conflicts.

Dishonor establishes a feud of contention,
Battling with fists that are filled with pride.

The ego prevails in the mind which ignites anger,
Burning with fury as feelings of disrespect scorches.

These emotions are lethal if not contained properly,
As dangerous actions are committed by contempt.

A person feels like the wrongful act is a slap in the face,
But sometimes, it’s best to turn the other check,
Especially when the unjust action is a minor offense.
