Truth Skips a Generation

by Debra (DM) Kraft — Read all 67 poems by Debra (DM) Kraft

By the time "not my fault" goes full circle, does it even matter anymore? [I was doing some housecleaning and decided to take this one out of the mothballs]

Maybe truth skips a generation
by Debra Kraft
Maybe truth skips a generation, generating lies to throw the world askew

 
 just a little

just enough to tilt the machine and let us play for free for a while, while we clutch tightly to that get-out-of-jail-free card, that ‘hands off! it ain’t me!’ card that throws accountability out the window into the little litter-strewn park below where the children are running in circles circulating ‘it’ by tagging one another one by one until no one really is anymore anyway 

 
and does it even matter
 
when matter itself is nothing more than tiny mindless its running in circles circulating chaos?

Debra, truth, I'm thinking, is, more often than not, a matter
of opinion. Good thinking though. -gene.
