My Comrade-In-Arms (or Contradiction)

by Sharon Ariella Levy, a 7th grader at Milwaukee Jewish Day School

You scream a lie,
you whisper the truth.

At dusk you sleep,
at dawn you rise.

In day you ponder,
in night you play.

For me you breath,
for you you die.

As a ghost you return,
as a shadow you lied.

And now,
my friend,
my comrade-in-arms,
to you I say,
Good-bye.
