We Live in Deep Do-Do Without Responsibility


Responsibility
is seldom a part
of our lives
because we are
overly permissive

'Having it all'
is the poison
killing incentives
to be responsible
for one's actions
as a productive worker
who is paid well for it


F William Broome 2007-09

We've grown up culled and every day we are spoiled worse. It takes a champion to recognize the path back to responsibilty. Thank you!
Love,

I don't agree with Linda, this are the words of a wise man that will never be old.
After saying that, the poem is a reminder of how the world is shapping up and what it will be like if we are so damn permissive.
Well done.

it takes a wise and mature man to be responsible for his actions ... wish there were more around ... their "rough" nature is actually comforting ...
a solid poem, William ...

Hmmm... every word weighted and balanced here, Bill, and the effect is very sobering and thought-provoking in a very good way. Indeed, safe boundaries pushed to our limits of responsibility and rights is good for both growth and control. Has the double-effect, like swaddling babies, of making all secure. I like the sparseness of this and taut strength. TY Kate xx
