Eristic ...

Today's word is "eristic" ... e-RIS-tik ... Also, eristical; pertaining to controversy or disputation; controversial. (Dictionary.com)

Debate
Look! They're going at it.
It's a slug fest and a rout,
Everybody's watching,
Nobody's going out.

For all this eristic speaking,
The arguments are worn,
Out and on their shirtsleeves,
Yet, between them we are torn.

Just a few more days now,
Until our fate is sealed,
Did you ever imagine,
The power that you wield?
