Contradiction

(Just a little background on this piece: I wrote this just after 09/11/2001, shortly before my 13th birthday. There was really no way to deal with the tremendous tragedy that I saw happening on the television screen, so I wrote what I felt. And for some reason this is what I got.) 

   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.
