Who Takes Responsibility?

Who is the one who violates
The one who does, or the one
Who does not participate
But watches how we go back in time
And judges ancient civilizations alike
And then turns on the television at night
To watch the news of the unfortunate few
And the plight of the abandoned many
Sometimes to glory in their blood
Splattering far, hitting our living room wall
Who is the one who betrays
Who supports the murderous ways
Of the few who break the norms
Without silent support what then
Would happen to those murderers who
Would be trampled to dust by those
To value life, liberty, yes happiness
But when these values are lost and sense
Instead we watch, at times applaud
Who is ultimately responsible for
Shed blood

"Who Takes Responsibility?" is a call to good sense in our society. A voice that can strike minds and wake up consciousness.

In admiration,

I don't watch the news, it's to depressing. Perhaps if there was something helpful or positive on the news I would watch more often. I may have to deal with the human race distroying its self but I don't have to sit back and watch it happen on the news. lol

Everyone is responsible for their own actions, unfortunately it seems that we are all left with the same question of overall responsibility...

Sharon,

One hates to turn on the news these days or pick up a newspaper. The media has a tendency of blowing everything out of proportion. They dwell on the most gruesome to boost sales or ratings. Always the big guy preying on the weak and vulnerable.
Right does win in the end but pray that the end is justified.

Something to cause thought, but we are all responsible for our circle of existance, and how small or large that is depends on us.

I agree with Ed. It does seem at times though that the victimized are to blame for the actions of the perpetrator, and that is wrong. Great thought provoking write. Hugs, Laura

I believe, we all are. And I often wonder if we will ever learn.
