What makes
A person good? Is it
Their actions, reactions, their thoughts, their essence?
If
Your thoughts are wicked and
Your actions a saint's, well –
Which one are you?
If you find the answer
Please
Tell
Lancelot, and
Me, maybe, I
I don't
Know
If I am
Good, or bad, or
Which one I want to be, or
Why, or what they mean…
Help me.

Thank you. Did you understand the reference to Lancelot?

And what else is a component of people's essence? I don't think it's only thoughts and actions either, but what's your opinion?

that is a great poem!, though I tend to think that a person can't be wholly good nor bad, I think the world is in shades of grey and thoughts and actions aren't the only components of a person's essence
