Whenever I hear the word 'wrongdoing'
it is always in the news and it always precedes
another phrase 'Country X denies all... '
and follows accounts of some heinous deed
that right minded people would have stopped,
given chance, before the idea was floated
before a bored and sated public.
I am put off by the how weak and lacking
of all conviction the word 'wrongdoing' is
and how easily it hides humbug.
I note that it is easier to use defensively
rather than as part of a confession
and as part of a change of direction
or process of absolution.
Governments and countries
should know what to be sorry for,
apart from having enemies
they have poor control over,
and accept the weakness
that they hide within themselves.
