I heard voices -
Left and right.
On the left I heard
"Your words are wrong
Stop speaking"
On the right I heard
"Your God's not there
Stop believing"
To the left I heard
"You're not perfect
Stop judging"
To the right I heard
"You hypocrite! You liar!"
On the left, the fanatic screamed
"Not religious enough!"
On the right the cynic goaded
"You're just half and half"
To the left, the demon screamed
"I don't love you, you fool!"
To the right, the voice of venom
"I hate you"
The demon, a woman in his arms, scoffed
"She is the one - not you!"
On the left was deadly purpose,
"I shall see you destroyed"
And amidst the cacophony,
I sat
Peacefully playing the harp.
