THE BLAME GAME

THE BLAME GAME

           Edward Iacona                            





          When choosing a different life path

          One may not get just what they thought.

          Even Columbus wound up somewhere

          Other than where he sought.



          She demanded her new journey

          As her family begged her, "No!"

          And as witnesses to her false words and deeds,

          She is reaping what she did sow.



          One is accountable for their actions,

          And with all due respect,

          No matter books read and voices heard,

          What the heck did she expect?  



          So here's a murderous little metaphor

          That could be defended with vigor,

          When someone gets shot; do you blame the gun,

          Or the one who pulled the trigger?                              


Author's Notes/Comments: 

After all these years she wonders why her children remain angry and do not communicate with her.
