Hero&Villain

Hero or Villain

Resident of

Heaven or Hell?

 I could be the crooked cop

Or the innocent prisoner in jail

Which one?...Can you tell?

 Batman-Superman

Lex Luther-The Joker

Pinky and the Brain

The whole world I’m taking over

 An antagonizing protagonist

A mesmerizing foe

A friend of the enemy

So you better keep me close

  I can save you

Or am I the reason

You need to be saved?

Are you comfortable with me?

Or do you sense

 Your about to be betrayed?

 Master or slave?

Forced to behave

Choose to disobey

Get laid to your grave

 Arch-nemesis

There is no winning this

When the battle being fought

 Is on my premises    

 I’m a fallen angel

Who has finally found his grace

How can you not believe

Such an honest face?

 Hero or villain

Do I really have to choose?

I can be either/or

At the flip of a coin

What do I have to lose?

Oh, I like this. Simultaneously dark and funny. Just the way it should be. A cracking pace and form, with a marvelous 'Voice' telling the tale. Marvelously threatening and questioning. Superb

thank u :-)

Nice. The photo fits the poem perfectly. I like the part about the crroked cop and the prisoner. In my experience, no cop is ever completely crooked, just as no prisoner is ever totally innocent. Life ain't that clean-cut

[Sirius King]

thats exactly the point of the poem, we all have good and bad in us...its our choice how its all used,,,thanx for ur comment!

I like this one. Interesting. I think the shortness of the verses strengthens them. It feels related to society, talking about its double face. I also see it as an ode to deception.

[Sirius King]

Yes, im glad u get it.... thanks for your comment!

[Ricardy Ricot]

I like this write. I love the conflict between good and evil, rite and wrong, in grace or falling. It's a good write.

[Sirius King]

[Beaner166]

No problem. So true.

Really good. Not just because of what it was saying either, but because of the way it was written. Amazing flow and rhythm, this is some really good stuff. You definitely have skill.

I like this because of the different perspective it has on good/evil.
Crooked Cop or the innocent in jail. Good write.
