Angels
an
Demons.
Humanity’s
manifestations.
Reflections
of self.
Contemplations
of the
soul.
Inner
conflict.
Battle
rages
within.
Looking
out
instea­d
of in.
Good
and evil.
Not
found
above
or
below.
But live
In the
heart.
Stories
spun.
Made
earthly,
deflecting
personal
blame.­
Faking
external
temptation,
pushing out.
Excusing
away
humanity’s
internal
flaws.
Grand
earthly
systems
built,
pus­hing
things aside.
Away from
personal
responsibility.
“The devil
made me
do it.”
Civilization
deep within.
Meditation,
seeing
the truth.
Responsibility.
Each
wages
personal
struggles.
Demons
and
­angels.
