Stare at all I dismay,
Bless yourself with none.
Somebody played a bad trick,
Somebody told me it was fun.
Whom can I blame for this mess?
Whom I accuse this moral crime?
No winners for this call, are they?
Guess I am only one this time.
That of course led me to think,
When did I ever share the blame.
All the ills that bear roots in me
Belong to my personal hall of shame.
Why would a third be ever involved
In what stood between myself and me.
I believe, all I brood for now
Is because of the choices I least cared to see.
The options I held, I despised all,
But one I chose to lead me here.
Had I chosen righteous path
Would today be any less severe?
Only a fraction more I would say
Was this day worse than that.
Of all the world had to offer today,
Look at what I could extract.
