We keep telling ourselves
we are good people
we all love the right things
and hate those things that are wrong
we create posters to protest things
we see as evil as if like gods
we can see deep into the hearts of others
and condemned them
so, we whose pure hearts
show best at what we hate
our raised voices against things
we know (for certain?) are wrong
Our raised fist in symbolic gesture
like a middle finger
and we paint all those people
who believe differently from us
as if demonic agents who we must throw down
we being right in our own intentions if not in methods
that sometime seem so much like the methods
evil people employ we could not tell the difference
if we did not already know
just how good we are at heart we are
a distinction that clears our conscience
over the horrible things we actually do
