The See Saw Ride

The see saw sways, back and forth
Seeking my soul to betroth
The good awaits with open arms
The evil lays hypnotic charms
The good of good,
The good narrates
The good of evil,
Evil orates
Goodness the good
Permeates
Overbearing evil
Manipulates
Undecided, I
Equivocate
To convert me, both
Altercate
Gains the good advocates
Seem too trivial to the mind
The offer that the evil makes
“Don’t let them go”, the heart opined.
Wealth, sex, power, fame
Rewards driving me insane
The lure of devil
Just too strong
The wrongs just didn't
Seem too wrong
The mind that hears,
The louder voice
Takes up the wrong,
But lucrative choice
The good hangs its head in shame
The evil victorious at this game
The see-saw tips to the evil's side
It’s every craving I abide
Millions ride their see-saw this way
To the devil's side they sway
Immersed in our self pity...
Convenience wins over gallantry...
More than our own felicity,
Is important other's misery...
The roots of greed penetrate...
Love replaced with crimson hate...
Selfish desires rule the mind...
Power renders people blind...
The evil deep in our hide
Outweighs the good, convincingly
Firmly pinned on the devil's side
A game, the seesaw cedes to be
