When and Why

When And Why Concepts of right and wrong White and black without the shades of grey Where did those ideas come from? Whose warped mind divided the world into two? Murder is murder unless it is done on a battlefield? Killing an unborn child is ok but only until it is born It is okay for people to starve But it isn’t legal to steal a love of bread to feed a family Pets are left to waste away on the sides of the road Or take them to a shelter and have them kill it for you After all…it is painless to die Animals can die for sport as long as they die running It is okay as long as they don’t fight People can be crippled for sport It brings in the money But we are told that it is not right to inflict injury As long as the owners count their millions It is alright to be a man until a woman wants your job It is alright to be a woman until a foreigner takes your job When did the world become so segmented? So indecisive about what is right and wrong When did we screw it all up?
