Poetry / the eternal fight
standing on a precipice
yet to have fell
on one side is heaven
on the other is hell
flesh wounds seeping
from the point of a knife
balancing unsteadily
on the weapon of life
the ancients of past
they rest on one knee
their cries ring upward
“join we. join we”
lustful eyes stare
thirst proving fierce
they long for the soul
of the one who is pierced
that stands on a precipice
yet to have fell
to the side of heaven
or its counterpart, hell

Wow, you plopped the grand canyon between each line . . . I like it! That’s a good start I think. In poetry, so many people fail to do anything with the position of the words/sentences.
The second line, you should probably change “fell” to fallen.
“Join we. join we”? I know you’re trying to rhyme here but this doesn’t sound right. Use the rhyming dictionary to find something else. There is one, online, I swear!
What I’ve mentioned above are about the only things I see that need correcting. I like the idea of someone standing on a precipice, bleeding, balanced between one end or another. But the words you’ve chosen in those two sentences are off I think.
You could probably put more into it, but by using your format you’d take up another three pages :) Don’t change the format, it works.

I like this, I feel the strong emotion of right and wrong and good and bad from this. I think you need to add some punctuation to this to give it a smoother flow. Good work however. =]
