He answered the light
in a distinguishing screech.
When lungs panicked,
he yelled
as his heart slowed
to a moonless night.
Run quietly down
                             down
                                    down
only wonder.

Inside breastbones of all humans contained
Two wolves, one white one black, endure a fight
Each rages war against its brethren named
They lunge, they gnash, and bite with all their might.

The white is pure of heart and pure of soul
It is joy, forgiveness, and charity
The goodwill, love, and hope that makes us whole
And teaches us courage and humility

The black is one heartless and corrupted
Spills sorrow, wrath, and greed into the air
It exploits our pride, envy, and hatred
Fills us with cowardliness and despair

And in the duel that dwells within each host
The one that wins, the one you feed the most

Headphones in
On your mark, get set, go.
Time to really look at your surroundings
and forget that you exist for just a moment...
