A side dish called blame

 mercy and cruelty
send a message to the mind
remember the ones you love and hate
positions you swore you'd never take

look at you now
in two minds worshipping the confusion of the moment
as if that was some mystical solution
How to treat the devil you created

hilarity at the ambiguity
greet him yet stab him
The neighbor you've assigned friendship
broke your golden rule a thousand times

yet has more value than a thousand family
because their discretions didn't land on you
mercy and cruelty smirk and grimace
which one is which

Blame has been funneled into your most expensive bottle
Most highly prized condiment
you put a little on your food
a little on your kin

Hate seems to fart out in disproportionate globs
like the oversized plastic ketchup bottle
All the stimulus of grudge overshadows
an emaciated conscience

the one that stopped you growing as a child
