Alter Ego

With pale skin and eyes of green, From two perspectives, he can be seen. Hood of black and cape that is fine, through hearts and souls of evil, he dives. With arrows of justice and truth he fling, Cutting through air, the arrows will sing. From one side he fears and love those who save, from another he loathes and despises them the same. Living two lives, one truth and one lie, which one will stay and which one will die? Only one life can commit and thrive, the other must vanish and one must survive. To look back at darkness and forward at light, A raven, an owl and a hawk, he'd fight. But which shall he pick, which fate will he choose? Hero or zero, what life will he lose?
