This is our burden
it is our personal demons
each day that we must fight
or else give in to what cannot be right

Our sin is habit forming and never willing to quit an unquenchable thirst wanting only more to drink it must be outsmarted from dawn to dusk or else all could be lost

Our friends try to bring comfort
to our cries giving us a taste of their own true wit
saying there cannot be light without dark
a balance of two equals always ready to bout

Some use East philosophy explaining yin-yang
some stay with the modern western thoughts of Saint verses sinners

What I want to know is why we have to choose sides of this eternal battle
be it righteous or wicked, give or take, a line in the sand for us to pick one side and make our complaints

Because in the end we make the final choices
We are self-made
Yes we are born with original sin

But we do not have to give in to the old saying
the devil made me do it
because we are our own demons

If we so chose to be in this life
then we need to understand
that WE are simple you and me
and things must start to change
