What good the system
which offers a chance
to blame the victim
rather than protect them?
children used as excuses
to justify the base animal
declaring them the cause
for adults' inhuman acts
are we so truly pathetic
that we blame another
for our own deprivations
to avoid responsibility?
How sad a statement
of where we have gone
of what we have become
if this is our evolution....

I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
Today, face one thing you did that you wish you could blame others for. Take on the responsibility of it. Forgive yourself. Move on, move forward into the rest of your day cleaner, lighter, more at peace - more readily able to face the wickeness of others with a heart that sees the truth because YOU have faced YOUR truth first.
