Has someone told you how difficult it is?
To tame the beast within
He growls, he howls, he lynches, he mauls,
He does all he can to taint you with sin

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!
Thanks so much Sandra, for your kind and poetic words. If Sandra Feldman says its excellent, I believe it is.
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!
Thank you Valsa, It gives me immense pleasure that you enjoyed one of my poems
It's in all of us. We all struggles with to keep the devil & beast within in modest check.sometimes it outwits us & we just acts animal-like.thanks for the great piece Ayman. God bless you
Yes indeed in all of us. I am amazed by the commitment and convictions of those who are able to vanquish it. Thanks, God bless you too.
Wonderful piece. I really liked it. A true picture of human being. Thanks for sharing.
Introspective and a very thought provoking poem indeed.
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
Thank you Kelly, for the educative and inspiring review. I am always looking forward to a comment from you, a motivating and educating friend.
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
