Rights And Wrongs Poem by Paul Butters

It's hard to intervene when people fight.
Recall being thumped for "bullying" a lad
Who'd harassed ME.
So hard to tell
Who's right or wrong.
Who made the first jibe
Or struck the first blow?

The same with global conflicts too:
Irish Catholic or Protestant?
Israel or Palestine?
Communist Country or Capitalist?
The list goes on…

Best keep out of it if you can.
Do not make judgement,
Just mediate as best you can.
Preach fairness and conciliation:
Do your best to facilitate
Peace.
