Battle Of The Soul Poem by Aaron Combs

Battle Of The Soul

Rating: 5.0


Two wolves forage within your soul,
Endeavoring ‘til destiny tolls.
Driven in a voracious fight,
Spirits actions reflect their plight.

Malice is the name of this one brute,
Its paws calloused in Wrath’s pursuit.
Drooling fangs, Glutton seeks in vain.
Indolence reeks of putrid stains,
the coat of Pride it lives to feed,
Filthy, conniving, it hoards in Greed.
Mind afflicts, thoughts shout quick with Lust.
Envy plagues thoughts, just brings disgust.


Benevolence, the second beast
Crowned with Humility, feasts
On Patience, Chastity for love’s
true freedom – sees Kindness above
acts of self, guides Prudence with grace,
a wealth of Diligence and Faith.

Who wins to be the Lord and Host?
One you delight to feed the most.

I always love to read the poetry of a young philosopher. It reminds me of myself, when I was young. GW62

You write; 'Two wolves inside your soul, ' hmm, ? If I'm to comment for your poem as an expression of how Aaron feels, then 'Content' would reflect my opinion.Since we can only personally know of ourselves as soulfully 'Human' Then just what would any poet, author, reader know of whether comparatively, 'Wolves' exist within, even as a likened metaphor? Much too upsetting for myself to be compared to an animal.. So i am more of the opinion as to the manner of which your words describe your own feelings, setting aside any of the writers assumption that all readers have such conflict within, however, there is always, 'Without' It just so happens, that 'Wolves', have their biggest problem with humans, for their survival. Being much better off that with the human brain. OK! What with soul, spirit of whatever there be battles, I would rather 'Live with Wolves', than with whatever exists within people that war against people. Your poem is one of creative, self admonition, Your poetic expression, 'Interesting' Thanks for sharing. ...louie
