Who's To Blame?
By Kenneth R. Cabrieto

           I gave you all names,
           And I could easily take them away.
           That's the bottom line.
           You'd only listen to what I'd say.
           I didn't give you life,
           But I helped you mold it.
           I didn't give you life,
           But I coud take that away too.
          
           These are powers,
           That I've held for too long.
           I don't want them anymore.
           I don't want to hurt you anymore.
           I never wanted to,
           But it seems I did anyway.
           You may not see it now,
           But in time you will.
           Perhaps in time as well,
           I'm the one you'll want to kill.
           Please forgive me.
           I was taught the same as you.
           You taught others too.
           Who's to blame?
           I don't think we can blame anyone,
           Except ourselves.
           For what we taught,
           And for what we have become.

     When you end up having a lot of power you often tend to make a lot of mistakes. In the end we're always looking for someone to blame other than ourselves.
