AM I TO BLAME?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is it true I'm a teeenage goon
That I be reprimanded  this soon.

 

Is it true I, ghetto girl, dress indecently

That I’m a rape victim constantly

 

Is it true I'm a seasoned bandit
That I'm accused of crimes I didn't commit

 

Is it true that all I do is to hurl insults

That I’m always a victim of my husband’s brutality

 

Is it true that I’m to blame

For all the woes that befall me?

    No. It is not true. But wait, let us see...I think you are not to blame.

    This poem is apt.

    Thanks for your comments.
    I personally think that its both true and not true. At the end of the day its either or both that are to blame.
