#accountability poems on Hello Poetry

Hugo de Santa Catarina Nov 2018

polemics flies
and lands messily
on both sides

the drone of speech
and rhetoric
never worth the while

what use is this discord
when we refuse to shoulder

part of our weight in
pushing the titan's boulder?

should he fail
our bickering
will be crushed
along with us

Giving Up / Growing Up

Closing your eyes
While feeling your skin burn
You've come to despise
The lessons you can't learn

Silently sinking
Through an infinite space
Closing your eyes
As you come face to face

With the water that drowns you
Seeps through your hair
Open your eyes
And you breathe it like air

Accountability

Your inability to take accountability shows me the type of man I was with.

I finally poured my heart out to tell you how you hurt me... you were silent.

Anti~logic

I’m a logician
A tic-tac-tician
Accountable to
Me

Bringing it day andor
Night
It’s time to get
Into My groove

Cause ... caustic ... causality
Tom waits for no one.

And the Earth died screaming while you and I lay dreaming
