Opposing Conflict

How often do we imagine oppositions within a certain state?

The fierce competition made more real by the dark colours of black

shaded from the peacefulness of a pale white.

And yet does the moon not show both sides?

Full, pure with energy and pulsating desire -

transforming through phases, morphing into her own newness,

a single moment of prolonged disappearance

followed by that of a prophesized discovery?

And we consider ourselves to be so unsimilar -

our souls poured from the same cast, cast from the same mold.

And yet an angel became the devil -

but an angel still he is -

for who else could be an angel of darkness -

prince of lies and devastation?

And the opposing values, darkness claimed within our forlorn shells -

for christianity is its own opposition -

Separation.

Church vs. State.

Roe vs. Wade. -

And where does humanity come in?
