To win every argument
Kindles feelings of triumph
Delight in obtaining a small victory
Thrills over getting the better
Of a friend, acquaintance or fellow-being
There is a warmth of self-satisfaction
Fueling persistence
To be correct
Regardless of fact or fiction
Simple daily discussions become
Debates, disputes and sparring
That must have only one outcome
You prevail!
There must be a winner
And it must be YOU
