Bad

I’m really one of the bad guys,
No matter my disguise–
No matter how I fare to others,
Besting some and worsing others.
I really do no good.

The good I wish, I do not do,
But do the very thing I hate;
And when I judge, I do the same.
I’m blind to my own state.

I cannot do the good I can.
Do you not see?
I am a man.
Why do you call me good?
