Turncoat ... Victory

Today’s word is “turncoat” ... turn-koht ... a person who changes to the opposite party or faction, reverses principles, etc; renegade. (Dictionary.com)

Victory
Turncoats and spies,
Rebels and dark knights,
These are the ones,
Against whom, the good fights.

White hats and black,
That’s always the story,
We root for the heroes,
To show us their glory.

It’s a funny division,
Between right and wrong,
That’s written in all myths,
Sagas and songs.

Perhaps underneath,
Where our real selves lie,
Is truth that is waiting,
To be released with a sigh.
