Scapegoat

Blame lands on one back,
Others walk away scot-free,
Burden unjustly.

Scapegoats Are About Conevienence
Scapegoats are not about being facetious
Having a scapegoat is all about convienence
Hey greg
Hey greg
Come and jump on this grenade...

Party Time
Americans must get out to vote
Says Donald Trump who just loves to gloat
If Trump's your heart throb
And you need a job
Trump always needs another scapegoat!...

devils haunt my night
the ones that pegged me
as their scapegoat
long ago ~

to forgive and forget
once and for all
i wish i could
for peaceful sleep

Ten Words
When the perspicuous idea was told;
A little bird became malignant and would gravitate to the flatter words;
Causing the scapegoat to alienate and dissipate any capricious inurbane transitory ideas from the little bird.

Virus
Once there was a philosopher called Hot, the thief
A trick from the book he authored “the bible of thieves”
“Scapegoat an innocent, evil is good”
a tantra to save the evil, poor GOD!
Bloody deadly virus is innocence, cost patient’s life!...

Poem For Rohini Gupta
For Rohini Gupta

To writing poems more time must devote;
For sure, Trump has become a scapegoat;
And must mention,
Deserves no attention;
Mouth looks like a fish and body did bloat.

Jim Horn

Are you related to Dr. Gupta on CNN?...

Premium Member But For Awhile
It bloomed but for awhile,
 blossomed in half season then betrayed by a rapid Spring march.
Flower of utopia, 
cotyledon scapegoat,
poisoned by delinquent family roots.
stung  by a wasp deep within its own nest,
robbed of vital nectar....

Premium Member I Just Don'T Understand
you tell me that you loved me
that was only a lie
a cover up to keep me quiet
what you really wanted was a scapegoat
to cover your mistakes and take the blame
now my eyes are open to your evil plan
and you my dear can collect your belongings from the lawn!!...

Maid of Metal
Molecular structures encapsulate
The druids fall beneath the sky 
Yaldaboath's tongue at unstable pace
For useless scapegoat ideologies burnt in smoke.
Faith, if i may, run away.
The metal maid acknowledges its use as a weapon for exotic particles in roots....

Premium Member Bad Politician
One man won’t help reach the poor
Why only the rich?
Why not poor?

He thinks he’s better than us
Why the big charade?
Why cocky?

Being President he’ll learn
Could we vote for him?
Who is he?

A definite rotten man
Bad politician?
A scapegoat?

Transitory
The inurbane world faces its fate
with malignant joy, unaware
of it being a scapegoat in the
capricious transitory thing called life.

Yet we perspicuously flatter ourselves
and gravitate to the greatness of life
till the body dissipates and soul alienates 
on the all- encompassing altar of death.

Many attempts made to alienate the biochemist, 
made a scapegoat by transitory in-urbane comments 
about his obesity, which did not flatter one bit.

But his capricious finding of what made malignant cancer cells 
dissipate and gravitate was so perspicuous and far-reaching,
he had been nominated for a Nobel Prize....

Acoa
Am I so quiet that I'm lost?,
Am I so brave that I'm a hero?,
Am I so bad that I'm the scapegoat?,
Or am I so funny that I'm the mascot?,
Do I try so hard that I'm the enabler?,
Or have I lost all control to be the dependent?,
Sometimes I feel like I'm all of these put into one,
and sometimes I feel like I'm none....

Premium Member Innocuous Intent

Though perspicuous from your tongue, your inurbane words flatter no one.
With their capricious nature you can't see how they alienate your heart from your mind,
yet your transitory thoughts still gravitate toward malignant ideas
which dissipate in rapid secession with each scapegoat that you find.

The 'Man' and the 'Beast'
The capricious 'man',once trying to
Alienate himself
From the inurbane 'beast' -
Now tries to gravitate towards it
In an attempt to flatter 
And to dissipate all ill-feeling.
Foolish, the 'beast' misunderstands
The perspicuous lies of the malignant 'man';
Never realizing it is being used as a transitory scapegoat.

Scapegoat
A time tested honor
to be branded a goner,
just stand in the middle
of their circle of blame.
In this sex-crazed society
still obsessed with propriety,
it is you they'll belittle
to protect their good name.





*Inspired by the spot-on gorgeous frowny faces anchoring the Fox News Network. 
  Keep pointin' dem fingers boys!

She is capricious which is why others alienate her 
A malignent tumor perspicious to all who 
that know her . Her friendships are usually transitory and often dissipate quickly due to 
her inurbane demeanour which also causes her 
to gravitate towards less than reputable characters. Fooled by their charm they would flatter her and time after time she would be 
their scapegoat...

Somber Pitch
Of scapegoats
Who in cold walk without coats
For they have been neglected
And left unprotected
 
Of human race
Whose freedom is less 
And whose efforts;
Meanwhile labelled ‘faults’;
Are nothing, but the burden
That which they do not deserve

Of mankind
Who for nothing labor for the unkind
And toil to no avail for a free mind
While their speech 
Is and forever a somber pitch...

Sheltered lives and hollow minds, 

How much simplicity can this life hold?

Wondering thoughts and heart too heart talks,

Complicity!

Solem vows,

Tyrant howls,

Argumentive!

A world of light and one of darkness,

The crow watches eyes as black as the darkest abyss,

Scapegoat!

Silver Twilight here and there,

As if no mortal soul will ever return,

Sudden Death!...

God's Child Gloat
I'm God's child

And in God I

Can gloat.

I refuse to

Follow any

Other and

Be anyone's

Scapegoat.

 

In God there is

No failure.

I'm a winner,

And no lame

Excuse for

Anyone who

Is cold as a

Blustery winter.

 

I'm God's child

And in God I

Can gloat.

I refuse to

Follow any

Other and

Be anyone's

Scapegoat.
