Justify

If the villain of someone's story is you
And the heroes you should fear
Instead of justifying, grin from ear to ear
Don your Cape, bear your fangs,
Laugh a villain's laugh
Self righteous folk will shudder at what hides behind your mask.
It comes naturally to justify when demonised are you
But that won't make them ask themselves 
Am I a villain too?

Good writing. I raises a very important question about who are the villains and who are the heroes. Interesting.
