The Commotion Shook Me Wide Awake

George Arthur

The commotion shook me wide awake
In the pre-dawn of morning.
I took off after my heart
Trying to catch it
Before it hurt itself
As it pounded on my eardrums for help.
My eyes were wide open
Two big silver dollars
Staring into darkness
As I laid drenched in sweat
My conscience struggled with itself
A hundred fretful index fingers
Poking at the soft tissue of my mind
Stirring a kaleidoscope of emotions
I raised my wary eyes to the ceiling
Staring into the dark shadows
When I noticed God and the Devil fighting.
Fighting over my soul.
The devil had the upper hand...
With the world on his side.
