Notes About The Poem

Dr Jeckyll-Mr Hyde

Betwixt two sides
protection from the devil
a blend of calm and chaos

separate the twins
and the iron doors appear
a prison of one’s making

Do you think we’re better off, if we let the devil roam free? The killer, once restrained, now is on the loose. Do you think the conscience of the good, gets off scott free? Do you mingle with your base side? Do you hide behind your good, but still entertain the fireball in your hands? Do you knock on doors with evil in your heart, but just enough of a mask to get by? I say let the Lord in; let his cross knock down your iron will, willingly; let Christ set you free! The fire you feel is purifying; the Spirit inside, comforting. The breath that fills your lungs, reborn; your heart in lovely form - its chambers freely flow with peace and love.

I once read that the best way to win against evil is to read the psalms.
