Contra

Ecclesiastes 3:1 

 

For everything there is a season,
    a time for every activity under heaven.

 

 

Contra

 

Stars at night clean and bright ... a part of the temporal

Just last night clouds brought fright ... is that to be normal?

 

Contradiction everywhere ... or is it unison misunderstood?

Or that one without the other ... would never do any good.

 

What would be integrity ... if some are not full of guile?

How would health appear ... if sickness did not run wild?

 

Is it not the contra ... that shows off the other?

Is it not as such ... that some not even bother?

 

Who would Jesus be ... if there was no devil?

If there is not a hell ... why the need for Heaven?

 

Surely in time to come ... hell will be removed.

It still will exist ... but far away from The Truth.

 

Possibly the balance ... is what is too far off.

Maybe happiness and sad ... are married in this slot.

 

Maybe feeling good and pain ... are walking hand in hand.

Not knowing one another ... until in the Promised Land.

 

Maybe Trump ... and the Clintons are not far apart

For all in all it’s just a simple ... priority of the heart.
