Two sides of a story

Human.
The Cherokee of "Two Wolves" teaches
of evil as eloquently as any story ever did.
It is more than either Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,
or Hulk vs Dr Banner.
Like yin and yang
We all are
Pure peaceful and nurturing love will always
need a way to access noble dark for protection,
and noble dark will always need access to pure and nurturing love to survive,
and so,
as the symbol shows,
they do belong together.

Noble Dark.
Tall, thin, pale
as the skin of a glass of milk,
pale as the chalk cliffs of Dover in a full moon,
still, vigilant, lurking in the shadows,
staring, like a cobra seeking it's prey,
wide eyes black as inky pools,
dark shadows under sunken eyes,
hardened features, immobile face, gaunt,
hair slicked back,
deep shadows under protruding cheekbones,
evil glint in the eyes,
slow movements,
moves as if it has no bones at all,
slinking, oozing, turns on the charm,
Bright false smile, suddenly turns friendly.

Nurturing Love.
Changing into
a kind of understated beauty
the appearance of a miniature Wonder Woman,
one who carries magic in its core
with a kind of warmth married to a shyness
skin of ebony and
eyes bright seraphical pools
all about simplicity, making things easy,
generosity of spirit, compassion outshining
helping this around it to relax
and be happy with what they have.
Perhaps that is why its skin glowed so
a soft flowering of the soul,
one that requires a strength of character
to remain in ever-bloom.
calm as sea, dancing birdsong
making the new buds of spring.

Denouement.
All of us are inevitable to both
One at a time or both equally
And if you disagree on that
It makes you more hypocritical than
we are already just existing.
Yes, of course we are hypocrites,
There are two of us.
our subconscious minds with its high ideals
And our conscious that just wants to ensure the survival of me and you.
I pity those who aren't hypocrites,
because all they hear is the screaming of their conscious minds day and night,
Survive, eat, fear, danger.
They have no range of morals to be hypocritical about.
All can see me as the transgressor now,
But where were you when I needed
an exemplar paladin throughout decades?
