Two halves of one self
are in constant war
against each other.
Neither side is entirely good
as both have inclinations
towards evil.
One is more disposed
to resort to belligerent words;
the other retreats and hydes.
We cannot blame our dark visage
for all our sins since
we allow him to show through.
Ignoring our conscience,
we reveal the evil in us-
giving him the spotlight.
In every duel, there is
only one victor:
one must die
for the other to exist.
