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.
