How am I supposed to know?
Cultures vary
Numerous interpretations

What’s considered deviant
Or acceptable vary
By cultural perspective

What do I do?
A faint whisper tells me to listen
So I’m listening

But how can I be certain the
Advice from within is not just
My own thoughts sent
Thick as smoke to block the light

How do I know?
What is and is not right
When different cultures
Religions, individuals,
Have multiple interpretations?

Why couldn’t you just tell me
Yourself, what is good and
Evil. Remove the uncertainty
And allow prosperity

Talk to me
And help me
To know.
