Good and Evil

I pride myself as an individual, who is not indecisive,
So why then do I question myself when given the choice of good or evil?

Good speaks into my ears with a barely audible whisper.
Evil screams at me boldly and with purpose.

Should I not listen to he who is clearer?
Evil clearly has intention, while good seems hesitant.

I become frightened as my mind begins to form a decision.
I am confused and begin to question the question itself.

Is there good and evil at all?

Or is evil a form of good, tormented by its own greedy desires?

My mind feels as though it has pondered the question for ages,
But in only a few seconds I make a decision and act out what has had my conscience in total civil war

*Eve takes a bite of the apple*

    Perhaps your perception of 'gray areas' is a sign of maturity

    An interesting poem indeed... as how can one truely choose from good and evil? Can't whats good in one's eyes, be evil in anothers? Such things one thinks and ponders about for many awhile.

    Very good work.

    Wonderful take on the prompt

    Much dark imagery pours from this piece
    Ah yes...Good vs Evil
    An ongoing stuggle in the real world as well
    Very clever approuch
    Ending was a shocker
    "*Eve takes a bite of the apple*"

    Well done!

    Thank you for your entry
    Wish you the best of luck

    I like this poem, it's good
    The one on your homepage is better though.

    You should try and put more emotion into your poems, though I think you already have alot of it

    You're a great poet.
