I Felt So Bad For This Man

Blame

By

Anthony Labson

All society has every preached

is do the right thing

and always follow the rules

to have a wonderful life.

Bullshit!

My family did this to me.

They said that they loved me

and they knew what was best for me

so I never questioned their judgment.

Liars!

My teachers thought they were guiding me.

That they showed me how to succeed

but all they did was make sure moved with the cattle

and made sure to keep applying for financial aid.

Thieves!

Where is God in all of this?

I read the books, I studied the songs

and I kept to the traditions and yet

I suffer only because he loves me so much?

Libel!

All I ever did was what I was told to do

and I never did anything wrong and for what?!

To be in so much debt that I’m stuck with my parents

and can’t afford a fast food meal?

No pride, no self-respect and no hope.

Everyone did this to me

so why are they so happy

while I’m here suffering because of them?
