Look What You Did To Me
The pain and outrage seemed a true conviction
But closer look gave other truth related
A glitter in the eyes betrayed the fiction
This dark event in sooth was celebrated
There is a hunger in the hearts of men
For victimhood in all its many forms
They seek to bring their suffering to our ken
And signal guilt on those whom they give scorn
For innocent effect is seen as virtue
While being cause identifies with blame
Our sins bring guilt, and deep wounds that may hurt you
While those of others pass to them the shame
Beware: they who make hay with fellow failing
They mask dark deeds with finger point and wailing
