Is it so wrong not to go along And say that black isn't white? Is it impure to say you're sure? Is it so wrong to be right? Is it a sin not to give in But stand up there and fight? Is it unlawful? Is life so awful? Is it so wrong to be right? The world, it seems, is full of schemes And people who don't care. They do what they must with minimum fuss But challenge it? They don't dare! But, as for me, I'll find the key. I'll sing my protest song And the melody will let them see That being right isn't wrong. |

It's not wrong to be right and it's not right to be wrong but it helps to be bright. Good one. |

It's not wrong to be right, but there is no-one who will admit that someone else could be right. Love the poem. |

I always believed two wrongs don't make it right, but now I have to think, cause if I were wrong, and wanted to admit I were wrong, that would make two wrongs, and that would not be right, even though it really would be right. Do I have you confused yet? Anyway, great thoughts here Sir Balladeer, as always you master the art. |

I thought I found Mr. Right once - But I was Wrong.... And I thought for sure that I was Wrong once - But surely I was just MissTaken...  |

(I hope I'm not being wrong In trying to get this right.) When you're right about being wrong, And you're not afraid to fight, Remember, leading right is wrong, If you want to win the fight. 'Deer Where DO you get these wild topics? |

It is not a sin to be right! I'm write all the time...hm.....er....right..yeah, that's it, I'm right(handed) all the time... Balladeer if you say your are right all the time, I would agree with you, if you say you are wrong, I would agree with you because you're right all the time. I did see an underlying thread of philosophy here and agree again!  [This message has been edited by Poet deVine (edited 08-06-99).] |

I think the key is tact... its great to be right, but its *wrong* to be right "in your face"... Nice work, as usual, thought provoking... PW ------------------ Poetic Wheelbarrow http://www.stormloader.com/poetwheel/den.html ICQ: 44370408 |
