Rating: 4.3

Has someone told you how difficult it is?

He growls, he howls, he lynches, he mauls,
He does all he can to taint you with sin

The question at the end is a very significant one. We all have a battle raging inside us...battle between good n evil. But there's a very subtle difference between the two, hence the question of how to distinguish one from the other. Great work.10

Excellent! You have poetically and perfectly described, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. With very much intensity, the picture arrives. Robert Louis Stevenson would have been very proud!

Within us reside the angel and the devil.... Those who succeed in slaining the beast are saved! But sometimes we fail to distinguish between the angel and the devil and there our sad predicament begins! A poem short and simple but containing deep thoughts! The diction is powerful too! Enjoyed!

Truly, some have slained the beast with a single shot.History has witnessed it and shall witness it.We all are destined to do so, but, our weakness overtakes us.Loved reading the poem.Thanks for sharing.

We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Great indeed are the ones who have slain the beast with a single shot.

A very thought provoking poem, Ayman. We are our own masters and with discipline can control our inner beast (Psychologists call it the Id) Some call it the devil, but in any case, we have the capacity to slay it. Well written. Peace
