The World of Right and Wrong

Contributed by FreeThoughts1003 on Sunday, 6th March 2005 @ 12:41:45 AM in AEST
Topic: MiscPoems

So says the religious leader:
Your faith you must never doubt.
So says the judgmental elder:
Child, you follow the wrong route.
So says the tenacious teacher:
What I say is what is true.
So says the expectant parent:
I have been let down by you.
Just a smattering of samples
from a never-ending list
Disapproval, expectation...
All on their own truth insist.

Where does anything belong
in the world of right and wrong?

Nature, nurture teach to choose:
Be decisive--pick a side.
Strong opinion as an emblem
that should be displayed with pride.
With assurance of one's theory,
with much credible support,
comes a tidal wave of challenge
set to question and distort.
Viewed from countless different angles
is the complex shape of life;
Disregard for all but one
feeds the eager lust of strife.

Partiality is strong
in the world of right and wrong...

Each with his own set belief
tries to influence another
Goals of moral unity
deviant ideas smother
All are right in their own minds;
things unclear to others see
Strive to alter wits and ways--
Tolerant, allegedly.
We will only draw near truth
here in life's uncertainty
by concurring we don't know;
letting every notion be.

A perplexed, conflicting throng
is the world of right and wrong

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
