Pinning Blame

Who's responsible for this mess?

    The "mess" in question is me.

Who's to blame?
Someone must pay!

    Who is it
    that wants
    to pin the blame?

Is it Stillness
or is it Ego?

    Why do I think
    pinning the blame
    will free me?

When I am quiet
at day's end
will blame
deepen the silence?

    What if my attempts
    to allocate shame
    are all designed
    to point all ways
    but inward?

Doesn't matter:
the well of shame
just ran dry…

    The well of shame
    just ran dry…

Hallelujah!
