Contradiction

This is the one of the oldest poems I have in the ones I've written. I wrote this because of the 9/11/2001 incident.
I was 12 when the towers went down and I was 13 when I finally wrote this. Even now, though you can probably tell it is rather child-like in the way it is written, I am proud of it. I think it had some insights that most 13 year olds don't have. So enjoy it or hate it or whatever.

Contradiction (10/21/01)
I've seen war, I've seen peace.
I've seen sadness, I've seen happiness.
Sometimes I ask myself, why war, why
sadness? But then I realize that we
must have those things to have peace
with God. War with Satan to free myself
from this dark cell. Sadness that I
sin. Happiness that I'm forgiven.
And peace that I live with Him.
