when is it right
when it is wrong
don’t you hear?
the cries in bed.
those comforting the dead.
when is it right
when it is wrong
as raids are sanctioned,
and names are reassigned.
when is it right
when it is wrong
when greed becomes exalted,
and blood has nowhere to hide.
when is it right
when it is wrong
when names are scribed,
while darkness closes the sky.
when is it right
when it is wrong
when the powerful are free
and the cost is borne
on the unseen.
two sides of a coin.
same metal.
same hand.
two sides — one fate.
when is it enough.
