Responsibility
I’m old, so don’t rely on me
Don't count on me if something happens
I care not to spill my tea
I’m useless with all kinds of weapons
If human race would be incentive
To imitate me, there won’t be
No wars, offensive or defensive
No other conflicts, so I’d be
Your God of Peace, my dear nations
Put down your fingers off my face
You know the answers to your questions
So leave me out at my place.
Deduce your generalizations
From bad and worse, who come to kill
They hold no moral obligations
I’m not the one to pay their bill.
