It has become too easy, <br />For some to accuse others... <br />To take the blame for their misdeeds. <br /> <br />Too easy today it is to say, <br />Someone else is the reason... <br />Why our lives lived do not please. <br /> <br />A climate that condones, <br />One not to 'own' what it is they do... <br />Continues to validate irresponsibility too. <br /> <br />And when this lack of accountability, <br />Confirms this with a tolerance to ignore despair... <br />Witnessed is mental illness increasing everywhere. <br /> <br />Eyes closed with wishes not to face the truth, <br />Only confirms an acceptance of delusion... <br />Those conditioned with this mindset would rather pursue. <br /> <br />What comes to a society historically fantasized? <br />Is not difficult to realize by the ones who made attempts to try, <br />To mention one's diet and a lack of discipline... <br />Has effectively created a quality of life, <br />All refuse to accept has long been on a downslide. <br /> <br />It has become too easy, <br />For some to accuse others... <br />To take the blame for their misdeeds. <br /> <br />Too easy today it is to say, <br />Someone else is the reason... <br />Why our lives lived do not please. <br /> <br />A climate that condones, <br />One not to 'own' what it is they do... <br />Continues to validate irresponsibility too. <br /> <br />And when this lack of accountability, <br />Confirms this with a tolerance to ignore despair... <br />Witnessed is mental illness increasing everywhere.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
