Who Is Good? What Is Good?
I've always wondered
What is good in our choices?
What is bad in the decisions we reason through?
Every action, born from thought,
Feels right to the one who acts.
Yet still,
Everyone desires to be called righteous.
The hero saves the world from the villain,
But in doing so,
He often mirrors the villain’s hand
All in the name of good.
And the villain?
Yes, they harm, destroy, and take.
But even they justify their cause
Claiming to serve justice,
Or help God correct a wrong.
So who decides?
In whose eyes is the villain evil?
In whose truth is the hero pure?
We live in a world where things
Must always be good or bad
But perhaps,
We just choose sides
And call it truth.
The poem clarifies the question most avoid to ask ,it gives the reader to reflect on the truth that rests silently in our doings as human beings.
