Pick-A-Title, Vol 48 Poetry - Contest, Sponsor: Edward Ibeh - 1/11/25

A sentience, where evil notions dwell, shall also hide a goodness there within. ‘Tis but a quandary choosing one to quell when weighing which would be the greater sin. The moral mind lends not to meager thought that contemplates the end of all mankind, but deep within, the mortal mind is fraught with duality, leaving reason blind. For neither goodness nor for evil’s sake does death consider scruples in its quest, it thus, depends upon what lies at stake that puts our mortal morals to the test. Though rationale attempts to find its place, this paradox may end the human race.
