Good and Evil

To the darker side is the human inclination adherant To the evil impulse it is strongly adamant But what vile part of anatomy urges it to be so delinquent What abets his innerself to disembark from the lane of good The fulcrum of his conscience weighs heavier on the evil side There are dark shadows on the inner realm of the soul Yet there are stronger lights And a mightier force to balance the rusted fulcrum What divine part of anatomy urges it to the lane of right It is 'Him' who resides in every being In the good and the evil In the saint and the devil

This is an excellent write. I like the juxtapositioning between good and evil. There is certainly light within this poem. Great job! Joseph
