Right Or Wrong
Managing to get along,
whether we are weak or strong,
conscience shows where we belong
on the path of right or wrong.
Managing to boost triad,
whether we are glad or sad,
conscience shows what we have had
on the path of good or bad.
Managing to gain insight,
whether we are black or white,
conscience shows what we invite
on the path of wrong or right.
Managing to splinter wood,
whether we are saint or hood,
conscience shows where we withstood
on the path of bad or good.
