The Fireworks Have Begun

An angel and a devil work me over every morn Contending for ownership to neither (am I) forsworn I tell myself I won’t succumb to the devil, that old bum Then he takes down the angel The fireworks have begun … In the end, it’s MY will versus MY won’t They’re mere illusions by my throne

Yes, we can’t be “flip”pant like Wilson and merely say, “the devil made me do it.”
