STOP THE BLAME GAME

STOP THE BLAME GAME


I am told I come first

learn to like myself

maybe then

I might learn to like others


who am I anyway

and what is there to like


where do I start

my nose stubby and short

sitting oddly between my brows

flared too much at the tips

hoping to touch the base of my cheeks


STOP


enough of this rant

don’t let me torture you

with figments from my closet

just one more thought

to seal my promise


“don’t point the finger of blame

at another

you’ll find three more pointing back at you”



reminds me of our Prime Minister

wallowing in the pan of grief

mourning the two hundred dead

soldiers in Afghanistan

whilst warning of the increasing span

to preserve our National Interest


mind body and soul


how dreadful


our Prime Minister cannot be told

stop the blame game


there must be something

about ourselves that we like
