There is a battle waging
At the center of a man.
Between his world of selfish aims
And one of out-stretched hand.
He has within- conundrum,
Good and evil fight for place.
So often man is torn apart
And can be swayed both ways.
He pushes toward the precious light,
While darkness pulls his hand.
Temptation’s lies appeal to him,
From dark desires grand.
Thus, by great strength beyond himself,
Man walks by light of Sun.
For it is by the grace of God,
That man won’t be undone.

Poetry: Good and evil
Good and evil have existed since the dawn of man.
From the time of Adam and of Eve, when it began.
Each side has
I hate me. The conflict within is so simple,
yet lasting in ideal this battle is eternal.
The sick joy I find in degrading
With a mind full of clutter between wrong and right,
I find the battle within going on day and night.
The me that wants
by Carol Gioia
Good and evil
struggle with the blind,
each fighting to the finish,
to overpower mankind.
Ignorance allows
evil to grow,
Deep within his evil lair
He ever plots our doom
Caring not what's right or fair
He schemes within his tomb
Upon his throne
