The Struggle of Contrasts
Champion versus loser:
The composition of me.
A strong, righteous warrior,
Against one of vanity.
With the clash of such contrast
The inner struggles ensue.
The victories of the past
Reap the crop of what is due.
The light of truth and honor
Illuminates life's journey.
A just life fuels the fire,
Of a man being happy.
How tempting is the dark side!β
For the vices count many.
Carnal pleasures lurk inside
This hole of depravity.
How curious is this fight
Between Death and Majesty.
But the choice remains despite
Its ponderous irony.
Although death is predestined,
The choice of sin presses onβ
Temptin me until the end,
In Him, I rely upon.
The composition of me.
A strong, righteous warrior,
