Do you know what is right and what is wrong ? If yes , read on ....
What is right and what is wrong ?
A question which I have been asking for years now ,
And tired now I am on the inside :
Like a pedestrian who has walked for long on the pavement by the side ,
Like a boytoy who for long has been in the tow ,
Or a hammer who has been banging the gong .
I sometimes wonder if its all an illusion ,
To segragate things as merely good and evil .
For its seem too simple a classification ,
For segrating all the thoughts, ideas ,and intentions we contemplate and behold .
But this is the simplistic belief that we are told to hold ,
And we being too young to reflect , do so without requesting clarification .
This is what has been practiced since times medieval,
Even if it may be just a delusion .
I may be the one who sounds as if under illusion ,
But i ask you the possessers of tools
Of reasoning and reflection .
To ponder and contemplate and take the lead
And answer a few of the questions that pop in my silly head .
Why is it right for you to win ?
And when others do so ,it becomes something akin to sin ?
Why is it right for you to hate ?
And wrong if others start returning the favour. even if from this very date ?
Why is it that jihadis feel it is right to jihad ,
And wrong when people take up arms against them to fight what they feel is bad ?
Why a Danish cartoonist felt it is right,
to do a revered prophet slight ?
While millions get offended ,by what they think is a folly committed ?
So , answer these simple questions , take the lead .
For these are only a few of the many that pop in my head .
Next time when you ponder
If what you are doing is right or wrong ,
Just remember that even after your most arduous contemplation ,
What you conclude may be wrong .
There are degrees nothing absolute... You shall not kill.. unless your defending yourself or others or a holy war..all degrees nothing is just black or white!!!
