Right And Wrong Poem by Madhurima Bose

Good people being punished for good;
Bad people taking the freedom to punish
The good;
Good people trying to stay good in order
To live with themselves;
Good people having to be bad in order
To be accepted;
Bad people going unpunished for being bad;
Good and bad, right and wrong;
Universal rights and wrongs, individual rights
And wrongs, institutional rights and wrongs,
Governmental rights and wrongs;
The right to be, the right to think, the right to
Express, the right to act, the right not to
Be hurt intentionally by self or another;
Right and wrong right or wrong;
Laws, religions, beliefs, and confusion;
Your decision or the puppeteer’s;
Listen from your string’s control;
Listen for your right mind’s influence;
Listen to others, but, above all,
Listen to yourself;
Be right and feel good about it;
Be right and feel good about yourself.
