Author’s Notes: During class we talk a lot about the duality in men. How can one person go from being just that single person to having multiple personalities? The thought of if wholly good can ever fully be achieved or is evil always within us. In this poem I attempted the technique of allegory, which is having two meanings a literal meaning and a symbolic meaning.
Humans live every color of the rainbow
Angel’s halos are white and round
Devil’s horns are red and pointy
Blood and reproduction construct the basis of all human life
Egg and sperm stream white creating wondrous little creatures
Veins flow with red steamy blood keeping the body alive
Every person is dealt a hand of diverse paths and options
Good deeds are set in place due to decisions and choices
Bad deeds lash out through the subconscious and pressure
Sometimes the weight on the shoulders decide
The right side leaning towards the right decisions and the light
The left side weighing spontaneous decisions having blood pressure sky rocket
The battle of the subconscious makes a head spin round
