Choices: Angels and Demons

Peace, my longing and eternal quest

To find salvation both spiritual and flesh

Acts and conscience combine my course

Or perhaps my impish sided slant

  

Good conscience and will get me through the day

Helping others and finding personal praise

That will help those and me all around

To create better conductive surroundings

  

Many paths that both open and close

Offering opportunities that are both striking to behold

On to be angelic and know the right path

To wake up in paradise, hands spared of blood

  

Right and left or up and down

Options and opinions similarly wicked and divine

Caped and Robed or white and black

Choices encumbered by eternal lack

  

Around are people both in richness and dirt

Happy and contented or ignorant and alert

Humanities path, my personal challenges?

Am I lost in a maze of never ending questions?

  

Working to be able in community life

Choices to be taken, but perhaps a compromise?

Live life in obscurity, should I risk my spark

On the hope of salvation that may be false

  

Icons and citadels, falsehoods built upon lies

I find myself wondering, should proof be offered…

Or faith denied, duty and morale seem immobile aside

Cornered my logic, also status that sky high

  

Alas my life wondering of things that be unknown

Life was but a conveyer I only started to recognize

Taken as a whole, repeated, I would risk descent

                                         In order to live eternal from clouds so high

    I try to look at life like those books I used to read when I was little. Those ones where you get to a certain part in the book and it gives you the option to turn to page 33 and choose one path of the story or you can choose to go to page 20 and choose another. but unlike those books, you cant go back and see what would have happened if you had chosen the other page
