EXCUSES, EXCUSES.
A modern trend that plays fast and loose
Is the ready way people find excuse
For actions and attitudes than can hurt
Mind and body and serve to divert
Attention from the need to prevent
The sort of scourge that life can present
To inflict disease and death in its path
Like some vicious vengeful form of wrath...
Payback for all the vain pretences
That pretend deeds have no consequences
And that no one is ever really to blame -
How fleeting is the face of shame!
With the virtual vanishing of humility
And rarer still - responsibility!

By the power herein of all you've professed
your culpability shall now be marked less
But don't rest now on just that you've tried
Send the words out, loud, far and wide! ?
I myself admit responsibility
for the actions of everyone
whether they have tried to be
in any way at all like me
or whether they have not.
