What’s Right?

-What’s Right?-
by Keaton Foster



Lost
Not
Found
Nope
Missing
Never
No looking
No seeing
Failing
At believing
Am I right
Before
I answer
What’s right?
And is it
The same
Universal
I’m not sure
How could you
Or any of us be
It seems
At least to me
Life
One big
Humungous
Gray area
Where
What’s right?
Is tossed around
Like a stone
Round
Smooth
It slices air
Cuts friction
Demolishing
All resistance
Where it lands
Depends
On how hard
It was thrown
Tossed about
By human kin
Related
Relationships
Wanting to get
The most
Out of the answer
Out of the definition
All can’t win
Many will lose
Fewer will chose
And lesser will decide
The game is fixed
Rigged really
What’s right?
When right
Is what all this is
Least of all
Confusing
It may be
Like an endless dream
That only ends
When we wake up
When we see
Without blinders
Devoid of agendas
When we hold
Our sacred values
Above every other
Solemn need
Or deepest desire
What’s right?
Is not clear
At least not to most
There are some
Those of us
Not throwing stones
That have an idea
A close
Approximation
Based upon
Our faith
And our fate
We know
Understand
Without question
What’s right?
But we have decided
To remain silent
At least
For the time being…
