Each time decisions wear thin
with no thoughts of right
and no thoughts of wrong.
What to do; and where
to go. Pictures flash before eyes
of crimson red enflamed with rage.
Revenge so near the taste of it
permeates through catastrophic
hands.
Entangled in confusion
and the need for vengeance;
subconscious takes over.
Now lights from heaven
embrace wings of gold
while shards from hell
impale a rage of deceit.
Come together in one final battle;
a battle for the
mind,
a battle for the
soul.
Mankind, the prisoner-
placed amid the battlefield
of right and wrong.
The demons take their stance
and the angels strike their harps-
and so begins the squall.
Finish the fight for the angel
grows weary. Ready to take
one final fall. Lucratively the demon
will stand, believing victory is his,
but subconscious ceases
and merciless eyes fade
and fill with content.
The thirst for retribution
now lost, as unforgiving
hands
release from the grip of death.
Author notes
um yeah. this is a little like out there i guess. i took a different dtanding point and i chose to write about a person (or a societies) conscience and how right and wrong overtakes them. and i made the demons and the angels fight for the persons decision and then it take a little twist and the demon thinks he has won because he defeats the angel, but the person suprisingly choosing not to take revenge on others. hence the 'hands releasing from the grip of death' as in this person was going to suffocate someone. but anywho. hope you enjoyed.
