Two Wrongs Without a Right

A mistake does not make the person when the person makes a mistake

Someone can kill another, does not always make them a murderer

Anybody could rob another person, though it does not brand them a thief

Anybody can be accused for being in the wrong place at the wrong time

Some mistakes are pointed to another in order to make their own feel better

While the push every nose in their mistake like a dog who make one on the carpet

Some mistakes are nit always a conscious decision, instead an anger induced blackout

Leaving the stain, and the brand of anothers mistakes

The murderer could have been just having a bad day

Or maybe caught the robber with his hand in his pockets

Creating a blackout, causing his mistakes to be unleashed

Soon after rolling the robber up in the carpet where he was constantly being reminded

His mistakes got worse as the stains turned into red, like his eyes

After the blackout seeing how bad it looked, believing nobody would believe it was defense

Carrying on his back his last mistake and a chain, ties himself down to the robber

Jumping into to lake to drown his memories, and fixing his mistake
