The only way they have ever achieved success... <br />Is by blaming someone else for their failures. <br />And when it has been proven they are incompetent... <br />They whine about the ease of someone else's chores. <br />And now when it is clear they are the reason for their sorrows... <br />They choose to say they should not be faulted for making bad choices. <br />Although thousands of lives have been lost, <br />At the expense of tremendous heartbreak but not felt at their cost. <br />All as a result of their gift of deception and continous misdeeds! <br />And now they pay the price to bleed but seek someone else's blood!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
