The Beast

The beast that lives in each of us

sometimes is unrestrained

Inflicting wounds upon our lives

and causing so much pain...

How oft we think we're in control

we surely cannot fail

Then passions overpower us 

and accusations rail...

We are at best a mystery

a hybrid made by God

A soul and spirit intertwined

and flesh that's weak and flawed...
