Society Tells Me Right By: Alexis Aslan
The past haunted me like a raven in the night.
The voices surrounded me like a bubble of fright.
The present was not happy,
For there were obstacles around every corner.
The future was as far away as the desert.
It was something I could not grasp, lying just out of reach.
But society tells me,
“If you just try more, you’ll achieve more than you’ll ever know…”
The past won’t come to haunt you,
The raven will be shot,
The voices surrounding you will be smothered to death.
The present will be happy
For the obstacles will no longer be there.
The future will be brighter,
You will grasp it and hold it
Until it comes to light.
This time…society tells me right.

Concept of 'right and wrong' has been a debate for centuries. To agree with what the society believes is a fallacious way to argue that something is indeed right.
ReplyDeleteI am pro-choice. I believe every human being has the right to decide what is right and wrong according to their own definition. You shape your own life, not mold yourself using the cast that majority has laid down for you.
