Poetry: Good and evil

by Jacinda

Created on: July 13, 2010

I'm your conscience that knows right from wrong

You should always listen to me, but you usually don't for long.


I'm the little devil that sits in the back of your mind

I persuade you to do things that are mean and unkind


I try to influence you to make good moral choices

I think that your convinced, but then you hear those evil voices


My evil presence takes over and drowns out all the good

I would annihilate and destroy him, if only I could


Do not listen to that devil! He does not care about you!

Evil will ruin your future, he is using you, it's true!


I attack your nice warm thoughts like the clouds covering the sun

Why be good, when being bad is so much more fun ?


Being good can be fun too, if you just give it a try

Why do you want to hurt people, ruin lives, why?


Why should I care about others, the only one I care about is ME


There is goodness all around you, open your eyes and see!


I'm bad through and through, I only see evil, that is who I am, it's me!


I will never give up on you, I believe there is some good in every being!


Well go right ahead wasting your time, I'll never be good as long as I'm breathing!


Hey, you two! I'm sick of listening to you fight! Remember, I own this brain

It's mine, and I will do what I please. You are driving me insane!

Oh, I already am insane, this straight jacket makes it hard to think

Boy does this situation I'm in really stink, stink, stink!

You two listen to me now! Keep quiet! Shut up! I want some peace in my head!

I cannot even move, I cannot even think, Honestly I think I'd rather be dead!
