The Blame Game

You make me feel this

you make me feel that

he made me feel so bla bla bla

she made me feel so yada yada yada

you would be amazed,

once you catch on to this

how often humans do it.

if you just switched on

to the conversations around you,

your ears would constantly prick

as you hear all the inventive ways

that humanoids have

for shifting blame onto others

now

this is not to say that

they are not experts at blaming themselves too

but that is often a fall-back plan

once our attempts at blaming others have fallen through

but, both self-blame and other-blame

are change-avoidant behaviours

that maintain the status quo

so, if you are happy with the status quo of your life

then just keeping playing the blame-game

it is a sure-fire way to keep yourself

exactly where you are right now

and you might even be able to manage to maintain

the same state for years and years to come

wouldn't that be good?!

Imagine how else we could use our limited energies

if we stopped putting them into

these shoddy methodologies

and if we stopped

telling stories

of blame

maybe instead

we would invest those same energies

into creating for ourselves

an ordinary kind of satisfaction

that was not dependent

on the performance of others:
whether families, societies, or lovers; 

in our narcissistic dramas
that help us keep our covers.
