Balance

Angels and demons in my ear

Whispering of courage and fear

One offering peace and salvation

The other, power and condemnation

~v~

One side offers me peace

A life of serenity and ease

I only have to block my feelings

And resist life's wicked dealings

~v~

The other offers me power

The ability to bring down towers

I only have to forget all others

As I cut down their brothers

~v~

I have one answer to both sides

I shall follow neither dark or light

I am free to forge my own destiny

As no one can take the best of me

~v~

I am not your guardian or savior

For I am needing of no favor

I am not your destroyer or bane

For those evils are in vain

~v~

I am a free man, able to choose

To bind myself to freedom or the noose

In the end, my life is of balance

And I shall seek my own guidance

i like the stanza:

I have one answer to both sides

I shall follow neither dark or light

I am free to forge my own destiny

As no one can take the best of me

I realy don't agree that you can be luke-warm all throughout life. But I do agree that you can make you own choices, free will right. Still so beautiful and so deep!!:)

I had the distinct feeling I was reading the Da Vinci Code, it felt so American, very curious.

I liked the flow of this poem. It was smooth even though it jumped from one side to another. So good job on that. The rhymes sound right and not forced. Great write. ;)
