Light and Dark Amphibios
A double life
For we say one thing
And yet do another
Hypocrites all
And yet blind to our modus operandi
Like Icarus we soar and fail
Like Daedalus we're trapped
In our own labyrinths
Prisoners inside our heads
While our souls quietly scream
Neither fully good
Or fully evil
But capable of both
Within a single minute
We bless one moment
What we curse the next
We give to others
And we take back again
Angels and demons
Look down on us
For being lukewarm
Toward everything in our lives
But we have two things that they don't
One thing inherent to our nature:
Choice
And one inherent to our anatomy:
Death
And both angels and demons alike
Would give anything for either gift
