Life is chaos. Utter confusion and depravity.... One tremendous paradox, A juxtaposition of spirituality and rebellion Constant feelings of angst and sorrow Coupled with extreme joy and hope We are caught in the waves, Being battered to and fro, Crushed by the raging waves Caused by our recklessness Our thoughts wage war against each other Yet no side wins or loses. The ultimate stalemate We feel guilty. How can we live in sin? (And pleasure in it?) And live in righteousness? (And then rebel?) Our heart starts to fight against Whom we were meant to be And The Chaos continues. A never-ending struggle between God And our fleshly desires Tearing us apart inside out. A downward spiral Out of our control But in the hands of The Great Comforter It comes to rest Only God can bring peace Yet, We reject it. We dwell in darkness Dissenting against the Light. Our flesh loves bedlam and revulsion And yearns for peace and love How can we live in two worlds? In this amazing duality We exist
