I blame the poor
And not the ones
Who put them there.
I blame women
Who are raped
Because they dare
To go outside
Or dress as less
Than nuns.
I blame
Young black men
Because I am taught
To fear them.
I blame
Single mothers
Who destroy our values
As they sacrifice everything
They have for love.
I blame
Homosexuals
And their pursuit of happiness.
I blame
Everyone.
and you would be in a great company of people in that blame...an apt commentary on humanity...its every one else fault, but our own...

Thanks, Brian. I wish people could take responsibility.
DeleteVery strong,,,and "they" do just that,,,and we are sorry about that,,,
ReplyDeleteWe are very sorry.
DeleteSadly there are so many who play this blame game. You creatively captured an unforgiving mindset in this piece.
ReplyDeleteToo many of us are lost in blame and never moving forward.
