Oft-Times I Wonder
Mindless Musings Over Morning Coffee
What Is Wrong Or Right?
Whether It be dark or light
Be it in…or out of sight
Wrong or right is neither
Truly Wrong or right
It all depends upon
One’s point of view
Perhaps Unique to you and only you
Perhaps shared by more Than just a few.
Wrong or right are just opinions
That’s hard to wrap one’s around
Formed, molded, conceived
Under different conditions
Mass murderers, Parish priests
Both shaped by fate to say the least
Both lay claim to knowing concisely
With exactitude, what precisely is
Wrong or right
It’s fair to say most know right from wrong
While at the same time acknowledging
The hard truth that right and wrong are only concepts,
Beliefs and opinions held in one’s mind
And nothing…absolutely nothing is truly
Wrong or right
