YOU ARE JUST AS GUILTY AS I
OF SCAPEGOATOLOGY
YOURS IS YOUR BELIEF
MY SCAPEGOAT IS ME

I AM TO BLAME FOR EVERYTHING
I CAN BE BLAMED FOR NOTHING TOO
I CAN STILL LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR
CAN YOU ?

I HAVE EXCUSES FOR EVERYTHING
FOR EVERYDAY, WEEK, MONTH OR SEASON
I SAY EXCUSES BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU SEE THEM
TO ME THOUGH THEY ARE NOTHING BUT REASON

Whew!

I like this in-your-face, grow-up, take-responsibilty-for-yourself, don't-worry-about-me, I'll-get-it-right-eventually, what-do-you-have-to-show-for-it, kind of write.
So powerful ,blunt, concise, and really makes me think.

Great write, -J-

Blessed Be!
Aiyana

Yes...I know what you mean!

~Much Love~

Well, yes.

Ditto Aiyana's reply. I was one recently and it wasn't any fun. I feel sorry for the one who decided I was to be an excuse. I am the better for it though. I have always felt that excuse are like a**holes. Everyone's got 'em and they all stink! Kudos for the write. Very aggressive stance. I like it.

Thanks for the replies : Kevin, Aiyana, Hey Hey and Rose

This one was a quick two minute lashing out at all/everyone/everything

I reckon we all need to channel ourselves and this is far better than other remedies I could think of.

I don't consider it to be so harsh though, just a way of venting.

All your replies mean so much to me, they always have done even though I am not one to write such things about myself very often. Just know that any and all replies are taken to heart. Hey I am just a sensitive bloke when it comes down to it.

Thanks again for replying and when I can remove my digit from its orrifice and get some sort of life back I will try to reply to all the other poems you dear people have written which I haven't had the time to enjoy.

Namaste

John

Cool, thanks hon.
