Placing Blame

Seems we all place blame on someone else, laying at their feet the ills of the world. Responsibility needs to be taken...

PLACING BLAME…


 


Who do we blame?


When the world we live goes to shame,


 


Who do we blame?


When all goes wrong and we suffer, so we claim,


 


Who do we blame?


When the world’s greed becomes a flame,


 


Who do we blame?


When missiles are built to aim,


 


So who is it that we are to blame?


Certainly not ourselves, too perfect are we to accept,


Suppose, do I, we have to put the blame on someone with a name,


The president, the prime minister, the king, mother Natures rain.


 


For without a soul to lay claim, to the atrocities we see,


We cannot live with ourselves; better to be someone else, not me…
