Oh Lord, grant us the discernment of what is
"The good, the bad and the neutral"
Is it all ill-balanced more than ever?
Love us into understanding, for it seems blurred

Not one is good, bad or neutral in character
But rather act out of situational endurance
Why then is the "bad" man the erstwhile hero
The "good" man the erstwhile villain?
Will you then say the neutral is weakling?

It is unfortunate how the world has become a scene of the three without much thought.
The good, the bad and the neutral
Only those three classes?

Never how one can move from one to another, but rather blaming and resenting.
Never wondering how feelings play a role, but rather bashing and harsh judging.
Never considering how one is inherently connected to ill history and traditions, but rather hate and vengefulness.

Should we then overlook?
No, just consideration, inquisitiveness and gentleness in play

Most things aren't as they seem, even when the city is burning down.

Be discerning and wise about how you captain
Not ignorant, hateful and a founder of quarrels.
Breath to restore.
