Angels On My Shoulders

Temptation

The better angels
That repose on my
Right shoulder
Do their best
To oppose
My baser instincts

But the Devils
That dwell ‘pon
My other shoulder
Always win me over
With sly and knowing
…Winks…

Author's Note

I'm easy!

it's a losing battle so often...the temptation beats the conscience....

as steven wright says "if you have a choice between two evils, choose the one you have never done before"

Oh, it's very hard to follow those good angels, when the devils make the other way look like such fun.
