The Blame Game

We humans are experts at blaming each other

And we do it, even if it means hurting another

We never take responsibility for our own actions do we?

We’re blind to it for some reason and this just cannot be

 We blame others for things like racism, rape and wars

When we see others suffer, we start moving our jaws

We punish those who do wrong without trying to teach them right

And then we go on and on about some self-righteous fight

 We blame nations for arming rebels and creating unjust ways

Thing is, we could’ve stopped it, but we let it happen anyway

We blame a whole race and religion for terrorism without cause

And then voice our opinions without knowing what’s true or false

We protest immigrants for coming over and ‘taking our jobs’

They aren’t you enemy and this ignorance must stop

Imagine if we worked to together and kept moving forward

But alas we fall prey to propaganda and the words of a coward

 We fight for equality amongst genders; it’s a worthy fight

But trying to put one gender over the other, isn’t really right

We have opinions about the differences in people, colour, cast or creed

What we all tend to forget is that we’re all born from the same seed

The media only shows one side of every story and that’s sad

Nobody every truly knows who’s good and who’s bad

Social media connects the world but somehow it made things worse

We should use it to communicate and not blame and curse

The easiest thing to do is give someone else responsibility

Throwing the blame without even thinking of our own capability

We all want to be the good guys in the story, but we all should bow in shame

Cos when it all goes wrong, we don’t accept it, we look for someone else to blame
