The Eagle and The Wolf
There is a great battle that rages
Inside me.

One is the soaring eagle.
  Everything the eagle stands for is good
  And true and beautiful, and it soars
  Above the clouds. Even though it dips
  Down into valleys, it lays its eggs
  On the mountaintops.

The other side of me is the howling wolf.
  And that raging, howling wolf represents
  The worst that’s in me. He eats upon
  My downfalls and justifies himself by
  His presence in the pack.

Who wins this great battle?

      The one I feed.
