Blame

By Karyn Indursky

Blame is the invisible antagonist 
that probes at our being day in and day out 
in good times and in bad, but it matters not how much we 
try because it's always there to eat at us 
inch by inch. Day in, day out. 
It eats away like there is no tomorrow because 
as it eats at us it takes away our tomorrow. 
What do we care if there's no tomorrow 
when all we have to look forward to is being put 
through the hells of Earth's creatures 
eating, gnawing at us? Day in, day out. 
We seek guidance, but pull away immediately as we 
get scared and don't know if we can handle 
not knowing what we're doing or what's going 
to happen day in, day out. 
Blame is there to destroy us. Day in, day out.
