He is wrong

He’s wrong, of course,
it doesn’t work that way.
I’m not convinced
that it will be worth while.
Yet he persists,
seeks help to get it done,
a backward step
affecting everyone.
It’s sure to end
In chaos and disaster.

Why do I think
that it is doomed to fail?
Do I not trust
his skill, integrity?
Would it succeed
If there were no divide?
Is it my own
mean jealousy and pride?
Maybe…maybe…
I’ve lost the heart for love.
