A Scapegoat to Blame

Spilling my guts out for everyone to read

Isn't it interesting when humans bleed?

The modern environment has created a new breed

The planting of the poison seed,

Think of being in someone else's shoes

Something we humans rarely do

From the 30,000 foot level it's a distorted view

The blood that was spilled between me and you,

Sometimes you think the world will get better

Then comes the scarlet letter

You thought you knew her the first time you met her

You’d get more loyalty from an Irish setter,

The swamp is deep and needs to be drained

The evil fills it like a monsoon rain

All law enforcement has been illegally restrained

For just being a patriot you could be detained,

And you wonder why this fool writes to no one

Just like the heroes who go unsung

More reasons than not to come undone

Never has there been more trickery under the sun,

The guilt you drag around with you must weigh a ton

Mental breakdowns are not uncommon

Too many becoming downtrodden

So easy to do when you’ve been forgotten,

You’ll excuse me if I bow out of the witch hunt

There’s this thing called truth they refuse to confront

It seems the consequences are too blunt

There’s no news anymore only political stunts,

Oh my Dear Marie

You were always a little too free

And a bit shy of loyalty

Unconditional love wounds unmercifully,

Mankind is headed for a new destiny

However it won’t be the utopia to which they flee

The fools will fight among themselves and disagree

While their oppressors rule by decree,

When will the righteous rise up to reclaim

Too easy to sit at home and watch a ballgame

Too easy to cowardly hang their heads in shame

Too easy to find a scapegoat to blame.
