To do what is right
one must eliminate what is not
and find the root of the wrongdoing.
Without cause
there is no need for bad deeds
no place for injustice.
But what is wrong
and what is right?
Who defines
what is good
and what is not?
Who prejudices you,
or what you do,
as evil?
Simple
You do!
Morals are complex
but mostly because we make them.
To do what’s right
is to define what you do
as what it is to you.
If it feels right
it probably is
by your standards
in your eyes anyway.
Others might not agree -
they do not have to.
It’s their choice
to look the other way
to choose a different path,
to leave and let you go
protecting
what they feel is right.
Such a plain
self defence mechanism
put in place
to not dissolve -
but shield
the one thing to keep ‘em sane:
integrity.
