Moral Onus

Good people always 
Suffer and bad people 
Get away with their
Acts.
People keep saying 
That.

But who's good and
Who's bad?

The rich?
Crooks with silver spoons,
Bloody thieves in 
Glass castles.
Haughty, immoral and 
Not generous?

The poor?
Lazy with life,
Vices and bad behaviour.
The karma of past life has
Catched up to them?

We're perfectly 
Positioned, aren't we?? 
Not too high, 
Not too low.
From here, we can 
Look down and up,
To shift the blame on
Both sides.

Everyone is guilty,
except us. Isn't it?
Everyone cheats fate,
except us.
Everyone is stained,
except us.

This knack for 
Self justification,
As the moral compass
Always radiates out-

We shall draw a
Halo around our
Heads one day and
Worship the mirror 
That always shows
A flawed image of 
Others.

Perhaps that's how 
All religions evolved.
And nations-
We polished and the 
Mirrors got so bright-

A collective consensus 
Of not looking within 
Evolved, till the dirt 
Always seemed
Elsewhere.
