Poem: Yin and Yang, One or the Other

Two become One Two sides of the same coin Why do you have to choose one over the other? Why is one so much better than the other? Nothing is static nothing lasts forever What comes up must come down. What lies low rises to new heights. Either you're good or you're bad you're a hero or a villain but a villain is a hero according to their own story. Rules are too narrow definitions are too brief History is set by the victors Truth can be set by the outlaws.

Poem: Mea Culpa...for Now

How can someone be guilty when it doesn't take much to overturn it and make them innocent again? Money in indulgences confessing your sins you have a brand new and unsullied soul. If the verdict can be overturned what use is it? A moral victory one for the books A bright spot of hope for Justice for a little while but it doesn't last It doesn't stick there are no repercussions you can brush it off dust off the inconvenience and go back to doing what you were doing all along. And no one can stop you their protests are ineffectual. You know they cannot touch you you are golden. They say that karma will come round and catch up but it doesn't help anyone else in the time they wait for karma to finally get here And those who are destroyed could have been saved if not for a weak and indecisive and ineffectual enforcer. You smirk because this is true and you  know it.

Poem: Morality and Ethics (A Primer)

  Lawful Good: "Cool motive, still murder." Neutral Good: "It's murder, but he was a bad person." Chaotic Good: "He was a bad person, why is murder a bad thing if it's morally right?" The champion of ethics. Lawful Neutral: "Murder is against the rules. I don't care what your reasoning." True Neutral: "I don't really care, keep me out of it." Chaotic Neutral: "I should be free to do what I want, including murder." Middle ground of self serving. Lawful Evil: "As long as it's within our law and order, murder can be justified." Neutral Evil: "I can sell you information for the next murder, pay my price." Chaotic Evil: "I murder to watch the world burn." The dark side of 'freedom'.
