POEM_: Good Guys and Bad Guys

There are good guys
and there are bad guys.
The good guys are ‘We’,
and the bad guys are ‘They’.
‘We’ may not be as good
as ‘We’ want to be.
And ‘We’ may not even want to be
as good as ‘We’ can be,
or should be.

But the bottom-line is –
we are ‘We’.
So, the good guys are always ‘We’,
and the bad guys, always ‘They’.
