the choice

It’s not a choice
Between good and evil
The deep divide is
On what is good
And what is evil
These are debated
Unendingly, not finding
A common ground
A sense of truth
A path to follow
Belief is not knowledge
True faith is not fact
In history, religion has
Traded evil for good
And good for evil
Endless debates continue
Church and State
Black and White
Right and Left
Good and Evil
We’ve become bipolar
No middle ground
Against each other
Hate your neighbor
And your enemy
The red we see
On the street
In the station
At the battlefield
It’s the same shade
Not good nor evil
It flows in us all
And the fact is
We all share DNA
99.9% the same
The world is small
As are many minds
Growing smaller
With dog whistles
In our ears
Sounding the call
To ruin us all
Not just here
But everywhere
Our beliefs touch
The good
The evil
