Innocence
Innocence Doesn't really exist in our world The "good" are innocent of all crimes Except that they allow the crimes To occur around them The "evil" are by no means innocent Blood upon their souls, Corruption running rampant within them But which of them is more innocent? The "good" know perfectly well The things that happen in the world The crimes that the "evil" perpetuate Are the "good" worse Because they do not care? In looking to myself for the answer I begin to wonder which catagory I fit I am by no means "good" My crimes are enough to deny me But I see the things that the "good" Attempt to ignore I despise the crimes of those around me But I commit them myself Is a hypocrit good or evil? Lies or truth, which is which? Reality is subjective What is evil to me may be good to you But neither good nor evil mean anything In the great scheme of things Truth or lies, who can see? The torrent pours through me Willing me to understand Frustration builds within me because I don't What right have I to be frustrated With my own lack of knowledge? This lack forced upon me by the world Maybe I wouldn't be evil if I knew What evil was But the world does not let me decide Imposing upon me the things I would be Regardless of what I want Good or evil, which am I? Or maybe I am a little of both Who can say? Those who call themselves good Are evil by nature, ignoring their crimes And those who call themselves evil Know not what good is So how can they decide? I've learned nothing in my life Or everything, however you chose to see it Good or evil, truth or lies, which is it? The real answer I have not found Is does the difference really matter?
