"When Sages Collide: A Riddle of Conflicts and Contradictions."
"Two men, with views that don't agree,
A prophet, and a pagan he.
Their minds are set, on different tracks,
With views that clash, no turning back.
The prophet's faith is strong and true,
While pagan ways, seem old and new.

Though worlds apart, they must co-exist,
With different views, that must persist.
Each has a purpose, each has a plan,
One sees the light, but the other can't.
One guided by a righteous soul,
The other's soul, forever cold.

One seeks to find a way to soar,
While the other's heart is so full of gore.
Their lives are set, upon two paths,
One light, one dark, with varied tasks.
Balaam strives to serve the Lord,
To worship him, his sacred word.

While Balak bows to pagan gods,
With idols carved, from sacred rods.
Two men, with differing views,
Their actions show, what each pursues.
One in the light, one in the dark,
Their lives reflect their separate marks.

Balaam and Balak's paths collide,
Their different views, can't be denied.
Though Balaam clings to God's command,
Balak's path leads, to a different land.
With different views, they struggle through,
Their clashing hearts, remain untrue.

But in the end, they must both stand,
And learn to live, in their land.
In this tale, there are lessons taught,
About what God's will, has brought.
Though paths may differ, and views may change,
His plan is firm, it will not range.

Two lives may clash, and paths may split,
But in the end, God's will is fit.
His plan is perfect, in all its ways,
To lead us all, to brighter days.
Though Balak tries, to bring Balaam low,
Balaam stands strong, his faith will grow.

Though forces clash, and storms arise,
His faith is firm, it will not die.
Though Balak tries, to make him fall,
God's will prevails, above it all.
For faith is strong, where God is found,
And Balaam's heart is heaven-bound.

The prophet speaks, his words so bold,
While Balak's plans, begin to fold.
His words are wise, his heart is pure,
His faith is strong, it's never sure.
The prophet speaks, with grace and might,
While Balak's heart begins to fight.

But in the end, his words will fall,
While Balaam rises, to answer God's call.
Balaam stands, against temptation's call,
He clings to faith, and won't let fall.
The devil tries, to make him stray,
But Balaam stays, in God's true way.

Though evil calls, and tries to reign,
Balaam's faith, will not be slain.
He keeps his course, his faith is sure,
And evil's plots will never endure.
The tale is told, the lesson's clear,
God's will is strong, without fear.

Though people stray, and paths divide,
God's will remains, on heaven's side.
Though storms arise, and winds may blow,
His will is strong and helps us grow.
His path is true, though hard to find,
But in the end, it is divine."
