what is nobility?
It is said that there is nobility in poverty,
but tell me is it noble when children are starving and suffering?
Is it noble when they are beaten to the bone with whirling stomachs
is it noble to live without knowing where or when your next meal will come from?
if so. tell me what nobility is.
I mean if the hood in the mask Robin stole from the rich and gave to the poor was noble.
why is it different when I do the same?
why should be given names and have stones cast on me?
when I am merely trying to provide for my own.
Why is he branded a hero and I just a thief and a crook.
Does color come to play?
Or the fact that he was born of royal blood and I peasant does?
Don't be mad at me for these are merely the questions that keep me awake at night.
