Confusion
Ephesians 6:12 New English Translation (NET Bible)
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.
Confusion
Always I am surprised by my own level of degradation
With impulsive thought patterns and a heart turning to stone
I seem to go down forever in my world of deprivation
Me, self, and I searching as we never find ourselves alone
The best and the worst in me are more than miles apart
With me, in the middle with the one, I can’t understand
The first dead as a doornail, while the other has a heart
That fights a losing battle but is protected by God’s Hand
“A walking contradiction” dressed in poetic clad
Well-chosen words I guess, if I accept to be a clone
Of a part that never sleeps and the other stays in bed
Who can figure who I am beyond my flesh and bone?
A writer and a dreamer, who wants to dress in knowledge
But with feet of clay and so to never get off the ground
A lover and a schemer hungering to live a life in solace
To be at peace with God and man and to be Heaven bound
