Angel and a Devil Is With What I Wrestle
10/17/16
Back to the fundamentals
It's been happening worldwide, continental
Wilted leaves and healthy flower petals
Amid Large boulders or tiny pebbles
Among soft to hard metals
The rain at times may be gentle or torrential
Call it quintessential
Way before fishing vessels
Or the use of any mortar and pestle
Since the dawn of time, it's been rather elemental
Regarding anything existential
Some things were on purpose or accidental
On my shoulders an angel and a devil
Is with what I wrestle
Times may get stressful
But If you want to be successful
Focus on what is important, don't be forgetful
Or too fretful
Take some risks and try to reach another level
Buildings and bodies considered temples
Take care of what you love, don't be neglectful
Something special and sentimental
Sat atop a trestle
Eggs and animals with speckles
Humans with moles and freckles
Certain meals cooked with fennel
Or lentils
While using cooking utensils
With or without a stencil
Messages and art done in many ways, some used pencil
Near are far away from where very few or a vast amount of people settled
In some areas are plants like nettles
And many animals currently nestled
When we walk or run by an insect does the ground quake and tremble?
Files stored away classified as "confidential"
Sometimes just one or several
At times events occurred that were coincidental
And rather monumental
Many festivals
Where people revel
During a day so eventful
Materials and so much more being disassembled
For reasons considered scientific and experimental
Continually money being embezzled
In ways that are disrespectful and vengeful
