Moralis
"The truth will set you free"
That is what others say,
To live in God's decree,
Is living in a moral way.
But what is this morality,
In a world of greed and lust?
How should we live in this society,
Of crimes and lack of trust?
Do I need to obey the rules?
Does morality offer standards?
Should I join the join the old fools?
Or should I act like an old wizard?
Is knowledge needed to understand morality?
Or just pure common sense?
Is morality an answer to the disputes of equality?
Or just another form of offense?
Why is morality important to us?
Is it a requisite to maturity?
Why does morality bring everyone to a fuss?
Is it an accessory to improve one's personality?
Why is stealing wrong?
Why is a murder a crime?
Why should we follow the law of the throng?
Why should we be slaves of time?
Questions playing on my mind,
Silhouettes haunting my reason,
Answers I need to find,
To prove myself a moral person.
