Go To Hell (Angels & Demons)

Go To Hell (Angels & Demons)

By M. F. B. Porter


Beneath the surface
of every tortured soul
there lie two key components:
two halves of a whole


Over the ages of men
many have tried to say
choosing to love or to hate
dictates the life we create


Others have tried
to make the point
that what lies only deny
is what only truth can anoint


It could also be said
in the words of man
that the sun does for the moon
what the moon never can


And while all proclamations
make a sort of sense
only two true sides emerge
and all others dispense


What I have learned
and here come to say
is that angels and demons
inhabit me day by day


Just as I imagine
they do in every tortured soul
illuminating dark paths
and keeping secrets untold


And the only solution
I have found to this day
is telling the demons to go back to hell
and invite the angels to stay.
