Monochrome

It's not all black and white.

Monochrome

When do we start to question the morals?

This is good

This is bad;

What’s difficult in that?

Don’t do drugs

Avoid fights and thugs…

Yet here I am thinking over

And asking instead “why?”

Before you hit

With the stolen gavel

Tell me who to kill

And who’s worth to keep

Who’s a human

Who’s a thief

Who are you to play God out of fear?

The heart trashes and screams

To do right, the rightful thing

It breaks as it sets in

What was sinful feels right

What’s lawful smells of lies

The mosaic of morals

We’re taught at school

Is really Monet’s blurry lines.
