Only Us

Only Us

Only Us

There are neither
angels nor demons

No denizens of hell 
nor messengers of God

No malevolent manipulators
nor saintly messengers

There is only us, 
and our intentions

There is only us
and the devil within

Us and the angels
in all of us 

There is only us
who do great good

And great evil 
in this lonely world

I really enjoyed reading this poem, it was very deep and thoughtful. Your poetry makes people thin, which, to me, is a very high compliment :) Nicely done.

Wrote this when I was feeling very thoughtful. I usually dabble into philosophical discussions with people and this is what I always point out to them.

The repitition in the poem fits it very well. My favorite lines are, "There is only us
and the devil within, Us and the angels in all of us ." Great job. I enjoyed this poem. :D
