Angels And Demons

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Feb 01, 2024 

Angels
an
Demons.
Humanity’s 
manifestations.
Reflections
of self.
Contemplations
of the
soul.
Inner
conflict.
Battle
rages
within.
Looking
out
instead
of in.
Good
and evil.
Not
found
above
or
below.
But live
In the
heart.
Stories
spun.
Made
earthly,
deflecting
personal
blame.
Faking
external
temptation,
pushing out.
Excusing 
away
humanity’s
internal
flaws.
Grand
earthly
systems
built,
pushing
things aside.
Away from
personal
responsibility.
“The devil
made me
do it.”
Civilization
deep within.
Meditation,
seeing
the truth.
Responsibility.
Each
wages
personal
struggles.
Demons
and
angels.
