"Correctly" correct?

"Correctly" correct?

A Poem by KallGraham
"

Self-sufficiently self-righteous?

"

By my own two eyes, shall I wrap myself in these "labels."

Believe my own myths. Live by my own fables.

Praise be to me, my own self on high.

Take away only, from the congregation of "I."

Followers of me, be myself alone.

Every move made, on influence of my own.

Judgment unto others, shall I never pass.

"Impoverish" by my own means, under my own "upper" class.


In one's own eye, shall "right" and "wrong" be held true.

Be bias to one, in the religion of "You."

Live by your own standards, create your own policies.

Accepting the judgment of others, you will never be free.

To follow the beliefs of others, not serve your own throne,

Is to uphold mental/physical prisons, whose populations, are not you alone.


To lock them away in cells, built by morals and hands.

All to force them to believe, that they don't "understand."

Make them see, there is an "error" in their way.

Physical turmoil and mental insecurity, is the price they shall pay.


In a world where everyone is "right" who could possibly be "wrong?"

When there's a price tag on the belief in "good" it's who doesn't follow along.

Sign your name! Get in line! Believe in "success!" Get ahead!

You're going to "pay" if you don't follow.

They'll make you believe, you cant "afford" to be dead.

Let me just say first that I love your rhyme pattern. Starting the poem with two perfect rhyming words, labels and fables, was ingenious. I love that you questioned beliefs. In a world where everyone is "right, who could possibly be "wrong?" Perfect, and your word choice is amazing. Nicely done. :)
