Two Voices Alike

Regaining the gall to forge on with vigor
Which seeks clarity from past misgivings, 
Rumbles escalate through mimicry's barbed language
Amid  the hole of evening…And to have known
This quarrel, these twin voices muttering
With such power he never imagined…until he
Choked  their loud acts, their vicious grandstanding
That a mindful awareness is finally lifted,   his redemption:

So, pray tell...     who is the sound-alike muppet,
the conscious mind or the inner instinct?
