The Battle by Steve Smock

The Battle

I do what I shouldn't do,
I battle with the flu
Pandemic coming soon,
The sun shines at high noon,
Trying to walk the path
Escaping God's wrath
A throwaway in the sun
When will it be done
I walk a path between
So it seemed
A moment or two,
In the spirit
In the flesh
The battle conquest
Seeking the door
Walking on the floor
Of temptation and restraint
In the flesh I become
Of this world,
Giving into temptation
At a certain station,
What is the relation,
The battle between
The flesh and the spirit,
Everyday anyway
Walking down
Life's journey around
The battle between the flesh and spirit
