What is Right?


How am I supposed to know? Cultures vary Numerous interpretations What’s considered deviant Or acceptable vary By cultural perspective What do I do? A faint whisper tells me to listen So I’m listening But how can I be certain the Advice from within is not just My own thoughts sent Thick as smoke to block the light How do I know? What is and is not right When different cultures Religions, individuals, Have multiple interpretations? Why couldn’t you just tell me Yourself, what is good and Evil. Remove the uncertainty And allow prosperity Talk to me And help me To know.
