Facing Fears in an Empty Barn
The fight between good
and evil
is only a state of mind,
a moral conquest.
If you listen you can hear
the visceral heartbeat,
beat, beat, beating
to extremes,
taking a rhythm
within personal conflict.
Old ideas become
new worries in
the imagination
of the imaginative.
Whether it be a
black comedy or
tragedy,
common sense tells you
to overlook
the obvious
ethical implications.
It’s survival of the fittest,
surviving your
own state of mind.
Can you survive
unconditional love?
Will unconditional love
survive you?
Facing your fears
in an empty barn
reminds you of a
childhood,
and the unknown.

Nice! It's very deep and thought provoking, taking me places within my own interior mind and causing me to pause for a moment to reflect...great rhythmic flow!

Some would say Morality is a Luxury.
Interesting.

What a great poem Deem. You really conveyed the feeling of uncertainty the questions we've all come to face in different times during our lives. I loved it.
