The Blame Game
Let’s play a game, we’ll start with you
Tell you what I feel, not of use
Arrogant, lazy, always crude
Tug another knot, tie the noose
Cowardly ways, I’ll take the blame
Take all that’s left, nothing to say
All is fair when we play the game
Add another string, braid through the day
Roll the dice; go on, take your turn
Violent times or a hateful gaze
One message for me, time to learn
Another twist and down a ways
Time to blame me and I’ll blame you
With no one to win, we all lose
No one believes what we could do
Tug another knot, keep it loose
No one here can stop the abuse
Tug another knot, tie the noose

I'm a pretty interesting person depending upon your perspective. I love to read and write, and I'm an English major. I hope to one day be an English Professor or perhaps and author.
