true/false

"But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong;'" Matthew 20:13a

but how can you be
right
insisting that latecomers
get the same pay as
the founders of the company,
that outsiders should 
be welcomed as kin,
that peacemakers should
be honored with massive,
tickertape parades,
that we should see
little children as our mentors
and not the superstars,
that love is always, 
always
to be preferred over hate,

when the world
insists you got everything
wrong?
