When values clash
the most valued
becomes the victim
the less valued
absorbs blame
and value
devalues
and shames
in values' name
When values clash
most valued
friends
strengthen
the sentence
Less valued
is
reduced
to phrase
And
ignorance discards
just measurements
Whilst
arrogance
makes boastful
claims
When values clash
victims and villains
Become one
Tripod
to perception
To survey
beyond
the trauma
that leaves behind
the triumph
of two valued victims
not one
