I Blame Myself

I blame myself
For I never trained my eyes
To see only good and not evil
Now they are full of lust
They never see people from
The heavenly perspective.

I blame myself
For not training my ears
To harken to what promotes peace
And never listen to gossips.

I blame myself
For my bitter mouths,
Full of insults, hate speeches,
Rumors, lies and never
Speaking the truth and neither
Preaching peace.

I blame my mind
It counts the thorns
And if ignore the roses
I see the sorrow
Never so I see the joy

I blame my legs
But am the reason behind it
It's my fault that they run to sin
They are too quick to run to evil..
