Blame By: Amanda K. Dudley-Penn

Images float in front of me
of sadness and pain.
Hearts have turned cold
and the world has gone insane.
People protect those that hurt 
and condemn the innocent and the weak.
Death can come to those who act
or even those who write or speak.
Fear has become a companion
and our tongues have been tied.
Condemned are the ones who tell the truth
And rewards to those who lie.
Terror is struck in children
who once knew nothing bad.
Eyes constantly cry tears for the lost
and the world focuses on being mad.
No one can tell what is the truth
But they still choose a side.
Based on vanity and opinions
and most times based on pride.
The people at the top are smiling
and become professional talkers.
Their evil plans are concealed 
by the first rule...Divide and conquer.
Yet, the people will continue to walk
into this world's burning flames
All  so they can scream and shout
and have someone to blame.
