Conflicted (Poetry)

Artwork by: State of Grace Graphics

Conflicted between confidence and resistance
Between conformity and proper petition
Between an eternal ecstasy promised by the priest
And the hedonistic greed on the hands of the thief
The conscious compete, while the prideful retreat
Conflicted between Constitution and compromise
Prophesized through conscious eyes

Conflicted between self-fulfilling prophecy and destiny
Between harmony and supremacy
Between war and serenity
Scribed in the myths as the demonic and the heavenly
