Opposites in a sentence

poet Anonymous

I am full of empty
Alone in my own company
My only champion is my enemy
Singular in this unity

We need to root out these types of competitions before they take root.  No one should be allowed, unless they are allowed to do it.  So no more posting till you post for permission to post.  Besides Willy'e Shake'it already had it covered with "to be, or not to be". If you ever saw it, you could see.  

Oh, and I should mention, no one has ever been accidently killed with a loaded gun!

I heard something, but I couldn't hear what it was
So I looked out the window, but I didn't see a thing
Then I smelled the air but I couldn't smell a thing
Then I got a weird feeling, something felt me
So I turned around and looked behind me
Their was no one there
So I tried to sleep but couldn't sleep a wink
I just laid there worrying, about what had worried me
If only I knew what it was, than I'd know what was bothering me

Tomorrow / yesterday; more bright / than it did;  good job.

Cool, so few words with two sets of opposites...

try these variations...

Yesterday above life, tomorrow below death.

Yesterday we were above life, tomorrow they will be below death.

I'm not sure it makes sense, but five opposites in an eleven word sentence, assuming "were" and "will be" are opposites.

This sounds like the start of an interesting story.  Nice pen.

Reads like an interesting start, or conclusion, to an intriguing poem / story.

Before reading this, I was thinking a long sentence could be created using opposites in space, time, location, characters.  But you took it to a new level, with opposites in everything....  Some more lines,

The sound shattered the unbroken silence,
The sharp flash of light broke the dullness of the darkness
The effect on tomorrows vacation from being off yesterdays work
The sharp pointed knife pierced deeper than the shallow wound from the dull blunt knife
... and so on...

Day and night there is a never-ending battle between good and evil, continuous distrust between friends and enemies in war and in peace and the gap between the rich and poor becomes bigger even before and after the recession.
