Life of Contradiction

If a picture can paint a thousand words

Then why can’t I paint you.

Life of Contradiction – A Poem
 
One stormy night
In the middle of the day
Two dead boys
Stood up and fight
Back to back
They faced each other
They drew their swords
And shot each other
 
I don’t know where this poem came from but I memorized it way back when I was in elementary.  I loved it so much that when I start thinking of so many ifs in life, I play this like a broken record.  I guess I have mastered the Life of Contradiction.
 
I am happy the way I am, no need to be a master of anything when I can’t even be a master in this School of Life.

  1. If only we had swords and guns made of roses…..

  2. Reminds me of Whitman: “Do I contradict myself, very well then I contradict myself. I am large. I contain multitudes.” Great poem, Seeker.

    • Mr. Kozo, bless your heart, someone who can relate to the poem. Peace. Seeker.

  3. That is such a bizzare poem. I wonder where it came from.

    • It’s so weird that I just can’t get it out of my mind. I think my brother taught me this. I’ll go ask him. :D
