On Personal Responsibility

On Personal Responsibility By Elton Camp When Godzilla rises from the sea In mortal danger, Tokyo will be Because he is so filled with rage He goes on a destructive rampage He brings violence to them all Mighty skyscrapers will fall People stomped under his feet Even armies he is able to defeat Godzilla wishes that some man His problem could understand With terror he’s forced to reign Due to inward, gnawing pain Poor Godzilla was neglected as a child Dad lizard’s negligence makes him wild Thus, periodically he must gain relief Even if it brings many others to grief Society, as a whole, should feel shame For his actions, others are to blame For the Boston bomber it's the same Show him mercy is the lawyer's claim The things he did weren't okay But others sent him on that way

Elton, Same in Charleston reflected in my poem. Are you related to Camp Lumber in Franklin, VA or Camp Ground Cemetery in Batesville, Arkansas? Jim Horn
