Poetic Text: Conflict and Peace


I hope this piece makes sense. It’s written as two different texts but, functions as one and is used to illustrate one central idea.

Conflict
Find comfort in the solace of disdain
Speak of the heart’s sweet contempt
The battle lines are drawn, surrender or wage war
Let the mind sing joy
And the limbs climb the walls of desolate jubilation


Peace
We struggle
Pull at the ugly face of bitter feeling
Grind hard the devastation acquired from desperation
Pound, strike, clobber another man’s elation  
All for the sake of a peaceful aggravation
