Nuts

sorenbarrett

Black or white, day or night, what makes one wrong and the other right 
What makes it right in war, a man to kill, just because your nation says you will
This makes a hero or murderer to be, determined by loss or victory
One talking to an unseen man is insane, unless they reside in heaven's domain
Is not putting a criminal to death, the same as taking away a fetus's breath
Social rules are the tools, used to teach fools, in society's mind blinding schools
They are the stitches in the social cloth, mending holes eaten by logic's moth

    Who decides who will be good or evil ?
    Neither god nor the devil...

    • sorenbarrett

      Thanks Lorenz for the read and comment. It depends who you ask, as for me each person decides for themselves but the law punishes and the crowds point their fingers.

      • Lorenz

        Adage to ponder !

        I donโ€™t understand it either myself, dear friend ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

          Thanks Cryptic for the read and comment. So many incongruities in society one finds that they need to set their own values.

            Or find it futile to do so in light of what surroundsโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ•Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

            Reading this felt like sitting in a late-night debate where the lines between sense and madness blur. You pull it off brilliantly, my friend. A fave! ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›

              Thank you so much my friend I appreciate your review and comments as always they are most appreciated. This world is full of contradictions and incongruencies that people don't seem to notice or care about.

                  Yes, who has the right to kill.
                  Is it a nation who decides, the soldier who does his duty.
                  Somewhere inbetween theres always a leader, usually old, and always deluded, but still mamages to mobilise thousands to their death.

                  • sorenbarrett

                    Senators, congressmen, a president, king without thought of going themself or their family order others to do the dirty work of minds not qualified and hands too weak. thank you so much for the read and most understanding words

                          logic's moth...this poem of yours doesnt answer..it documents everything. especially the mythmaking of war.
