circumstances and choices
Why do people do bad things?
Who knows?
Was it a loss?
Was it their condition?
Was it poverty or was it anger?
Who knows what was their circumstance.
But what if it was easy money,
or just laziness to work hard,
Was it greed for what is not theirs,
or just the thrill of it.
Maybe it was their choice.
Maybe it was clouded judgement or just lack of knowledge,
That drove them to the edge,
And they chose to do bad things.
