The Contradiction of Right
“Two wrongs
don’t make a right” --
my mother’s admonition
conflicts with Robin Hood’s methods.
If true,
Prince John taking advantage of taxes
and Robin Hood stealing money back --
even with good intentions --
doesn’t make stealing
the correct action.
But my mother also taught me
to stand for truth
and do what is right.
When is doing a good thing
despite rules calling it bad
a revolution for righteousness
and when is it vigilante work?
How can doing the right thing
become wrong?
