"Oasis of A Blaming Game" Poem by Hillol Ray

Oasis of A Blaming Game

By

Hillol Ray

If our mission fails,

We lay the blame-

On something or someone

To disclaim!

Singer's glamor reveals

Songs with a real voice-

Unaffected by 'acid reflux'

And instrumental choice!!

For a publicity stunt,

'Exposure' is the route-

Via 'wardrobe malfunction',

And there's no doubt!!

Squabbles of a couple

Play oasis of a blaming game-

And prolong 'He said/She said',

Without a guilt or shame!!

Over-spending may trigger

Bankruptcy for sure-

But we blame on something,

For less pain to endure!!

“Milestone”
