Context: One human, reading and finding how we have evolved is trying to understand what is righteous, but he never gets it. This is his version of confusion, what do you think? Is it Influence, Circumstance or Perception: I don’t get.


Key line: I don’t know, I can’t tell, I just thought, you too try.


Right and wrong, much the perceptions

The choices of that minute, that momentary reception!

Actions and circumstances make the deity, mighty and almighty.

Marked in our minds that these are it, but I still can’t state if its’ right!

I don’t know, I can’t tell, I just thought, you too try.


These are Nobles, they are devils: Marked by limits and thresholds

If Rama the noble and Ravana the evil: recall that they both held millions their side

Both had much educated and sensible crowd, just a conflict in what they believed

Rama the right, though he killed the millions in the fight! Fair?

I don’t know, I can’t tell, I just thought, you too try.


Our festivals don’t talk the differences in thoughts, don’t remind us the choices

Those decisions and differences, shouldn’t they be discussed or cared?

Situations led ambitions and circumstance influenced choices

Realize that the life we see and stories we hear are related to them!

I don’t know, I can’t tell, I just thought, you too try.


Did democracy decide demons, those widely followed then are gods!

Like Buddha is once for seeking peace, and Krishna while making a war.

They capable are conquerors? Haven’t they thus exploited the weakness and muscles of others?

Attached to our thoughts are our ideologies, they made new religions.

Thoughts: To rule world made might Alexander and to distribute peace made almighty Buddha!

I don’t know, I can’t tell, I just thought, you too try.


For their nations, they worked, yet Washington regarded as Leader and Hitler rude. On what basis!

Can say that one for their land and other demanded, and thus.

What is theirs? Haven’t they migrated before Red Indians were dead?

Fair and unfair are both filled in us, we are heroes and villains all the time, based on the story.

I don’t know, I can’t tell, I just thought, you too try.


Million of a billion still can talk sense, but righteous needs numbers and masses.

We are murderers, survived and evolved from the extinction of races and species.

Be it survival of fittest or strongest, those we live have adapted with time.

The science is for construction and for weapons, which is driven by thoughts to aid actions, fair or unfair doesn’t count.

I don’t know, I can’t tell, I just thought, you too try.


May the more educated and social quotient society would help for better survival

The right preaching, moral lessons, and grant parents bed stories teach more compassion

Doubting the path we will walk today and live tomorrow, they’ll know it thousand years’ later

Hoping our choice is for better, the decision for good. Let them and we live in harmony

We shall work, worship and make relations with smile happily living in good deeds

While I don’t know, I can’t tell, I just thought.
