Scapegoat

There's got to be a "scapegoat"
too bad, this time 'twas you
but, let's just take a look at what you've done,

you say that you're not guilty
that you didn't even know
in fact, I heard you say, "I'm not the one!"

Let's speak about your innocence
how you're never in the "mix"
there are many who would have to disagree,

by visual indication
you are "suspect", at the best
I don't understand why you don't up and flee !

Let's talk 'bout what you haven't done
the knowledge you haven't shared
and how, through your manipulations you're the same...

you'd have killed if it were murder
you'd have robbed if it were theft
the amount of your deceit gets half the blame.

I'm not saying this to tell you
how it is that you should feel
but, the fact is cosmic forces have their way,

that aught to tell you something
'bout what's honest and is real
you don't deserve to live another day.

Karma is relentless
and it's zeroed in on you
and it's accuracy is really "legend-like",

if you don't heed this warning
and change your evil ways
then I invite you just to quietly take a "hike"!
