Various Duties Poem by Mary Champion

Various Duties

'I was only doing my duty! '

A modest response
from some kind of hero?
Or a feeble excuse for an atrocity?

Was duty done out of love?
Fear of retribution?
A sense of obligation?
Mindless conformity?
Or the need to earn a living?

Doing one's duty means many things -
the motivation makes all the difference.
