The Conflict

In the poem "The Conflict" C. Day Lewis describes being in the midst of human conflict. Since the beginning of mankind, conflicts have been a part of society no matter how big or small. An example of a big conflict is the way some Quebec citizens felt when they were voting in the referendum. A small conflict we might face is whether to buy a hamburger or a hot dog. A conflict is a struggle, …

…to look towards a new light, find new stars to light up the night. And not to let old conflicts hold us back and prevent us from advancing through life. No matter what the conflict we cannot be blinded by rough times that are inevitable facts of life. Everyone faces them. Whether it is one individual, a family, a group of friends, or a city or even a country, there will always be conflicting ideas.
