The Blame Game. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

The blame game is easy to play.
Just choose your victim and say,
that they are responsible,
for all the bad in the world.
Don't look to yourself,
in case you don't like what you find
when you delve.

You do not try to understand,
for you might find the truth,
that all evil stems from hatred,
ignorance and fear.
Do not open your eyes,
for it is easier to look yourself in the mirror.
Sure it does not tell you any lies.

And when you find your victim,
a person who was done wrong.
You have a long list of bad things,
they may or may not have done.

Instead of looking at the problem,
you try to cover it up.
You play the blame game.
You throw out the muck.

Until we stop sticking our heads
in the sand, and admit our own shortcomings,
we will always land, in that place of limbo,
where nothing is ever solved.
No CHANGE, until we evolve.
