Money Mike

an angel lies in the daylight

another demon writhes in the hellfire

all in a single day

all at the same time

what lurks in our nightmares

deeply so, without a face

it is the same, in the dreams

uplifted into the sun

washed out with pure starlight

flushed into the mystery

between the angel, between the demon

here now lies the human

finding evil very relative

almost related

almost the same

the pleasure

and the pain
