One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

A werewolf howling in the dark
Tearing at my soul
Asking me which dog I'll feed
And which will I let go
The scratching comes from inside of me
Hyde ripping my heart in two
Is it the midday sun I seek
Or the moon wrapped up in blue
All Hallow's Eve fast approaches
Like hoofbeats on castenet
Rainbow Demon raises his scythe
But hasn't claimed me yet
As long as the blood flows through my veins
My dismay is not complete
As long as I have the breath of life
I may still serve a Godly feat
But the war rages on, deep within
Lies of a life so dim
Easier it is to walk with Satan
But it's triumph to walk with Him
Gave you a 10!
