Why Do We Blame the World

Why do we blame the world ?

Mother Earth, ( this poor old world ) gets such a bad rap.
Mankind lays all his flaws, short comings, tragedies, his crap
upon her back, blames her, it is her fault we are torn apart,
our souls, our spirits, our psyches, our words start
with “ this mean old world ”, “ this cruel world ”,
if the world only cared ” never do we unfurl,
admit that it is man, the creator, not the world,
creating all the problems for mankind.
Blame the world, hide behind, remain blind.
