Pointing the Finger

It's too easy to point the finger,
to play the blame game.
It's tempting to shame others,
not put ourselves in the frame.

Blame is a destructive flame,
that burns within the gut,
it destroys tolerance and trust,
keeping the doors to compassion shut.

Accusations without consideration
create resentment and retaliation,
society implodes, bombs explode,
who wants to live in divided nations?

Embrace empathy and love,
no one needs to prove they're tough,
let's all stand together,
peace is enough.
