All of us have it inside us,
Hidden, dormant, and waiting to come out if given a chance.
All that matters is how often do we let it out.
Differences are figured out based on that.
We are all good and we are all bad,
The choices are made by us,
And the choices vary from time to time,
Depending on situations and circumstances,
Sometimes it is not even by choice but by fate.
You are distinguished by the decisions that you make when you have options to choose,
Whether we truly understand the choices that we make or not.
We choose to wear the mask of humanity but carry out the evil hiding inside us.
We choose to instill peace by professing violence,
Our guns speak justice and missiles speak freedom,
Yes. We are a contradiction to ourselves,
Our actions speak against the reasons that we vouch for.
This contradiction is there everywhere.
Sometimes the mask might seem evil but there will be virtue hiding behind it.
The people that you think to be the toughest might be the kindest.
The orphans of the enemies can be seen under the shelter of their parents’ killer,
Being shown the light of hope which they must have thought to not exist,
Being taught to prefer reason over emotion.
We are all contradiction to ourselves.
