Right Is Right But the Best Are Left

We live in a world of many isms
left-handed could be one but isn’t
cus we lefties don’t shout "victim" 
when living in a backward system.

Right is right it’s opposite is wrong, 
right is right it’s opposite is left.
Left is strong te one that lasts,
left the one you can't get past.

Right need to be in numbers to be strong
as without numbers they’d get it wrong 
then be gone before long.

Their opposite left, 
outnumbered but with great strength and depth,
though right have dominance 10 to 1,
it's needed cus 1 left is worth 10 of them.

So you may think it’s right to be right
normal and correct,
but right and correct do not mean "best" or perfect, 
when a champion is always the one left.
