Heaven and Hell, locked in an eternal
Battle—neither side giving in at all,
Their plans ineffable and infernal—
Each is certain that the other will fall.
What they could not predict was the outcome
That their meddling would cause. The line between
Good and evil smudged, humans had become
Their fate uncertain and yet to be seen.
When it came down to it, evil and good
Were already present in everyone
And required no push to do as they should—
Though they did not know the wheels that they spun.
Sometimes they admitted humans were feared
By some of them, but mostly they were weird.

Humans have never
Been content to take a side
Always on the line.
Been content to take a side
Always on the line.
I love your sonnet!
