Accountability

Not my fault,
            Not your fault,
                        Not their fault,
Not our problem.

Yes, things happen. Understood.
Mixed results both bad and good.
Did we? Should I? Wish we could’ve
Made a better stratagem.

Owners need to take the knock,
Shouldn’t be a test of will.
Time for someone to step up to
Take control and foot the bill.

Prone to seek the easy out,
To hide behind convenient lies.
But lies are feeble to disguise
The truth echoed in guilty eyes.

Let me stand the reprimand,
Bear the blame for all to see.
Justice finds its best reward  
Linked with accountability.
