The Right

Heed it,
it is right,
do not fight,
it is right,
if you fight,
dust you will bite,
if you do not,
you manipulated,
right to wrong,
and sang your song,
now you will fight,
because you have your own right,
but you have at best a short sight,
somewhere it is still right,
and there you cannot manipulate,
however hard you may try,
you have now added to your account,
and have to explain all the wrongs,
that you did along with this one,
there you will have no chance to fight,
because they have a right,
to punish you for ignoring the right.
