My Struggle

Today I walked alone in this solitary valley
To meet my conscience and
I confessed
I cannot allow my enemy to die so young
Since, I need someone to fight with.

Without evil there is no meaning for goodness.
Without pity there cannot be mercy.
I am proud, but ignorant
In the depths of the earth there is a dark evil
Teasing, provoking and pampering my ego.

I am between two compelling forces,
one in whom I must take refuge,
and the other against whom I must struggle
I am in dilemma how to choose and
Identify, who is more rewarding ?

One is ready to reward in this life
Other promises afterwards
My true test is on,
My struggle between good and bad
Would pay, anyway.
