Nor Must I Believe In The Brute

Nor Must I Believe In The Brute

Bob Komives

::

-->

We can together dislike what our economy works,
yet disagree apart with those who tell us how.
We can follow the crowd that dislikes what politicians do to get elected,
yet we can oppose the large part that says they must.
Just being wrong
does not make it right.
I need not believe in moat nor wall to dislike my life in the castle.
I need not believe there is profit in slavery to fight for its abolition.
Nor must I believe in all that if I know this:
Just being wrong
does not make it right.
I need not believe in plot nor devil to act for good over bad.
I need not believe that I am evil to know of your dislike.
I need not believe in your favorite ghost to know our common fear.
Nor must I believe in the brute to stop the rape.
Just being wrong
does not make it right.
