Accountability

In this world of sin and shame,
It's hard to know who is to blame.

We become desensitized, 
To the evil on the rise.

Those beliefs we know are wrong,
Are lived daily among the throngs.

Is there no end to hate and greed?
What will it take to follow God's lead.

If there is evil and I give it no name,
Than it is I who is to blame.
