Shifting blames

With conviction, making the claims,

forming narratives, in narrow frames,

emotions surge, feeling the shame,

we find excuses, to have it tamed,

using scapegoats, for shifting blame. 

It might not be a conscious drive,

where actions have impulsive side,

forming a rationale, in our minds,

of condemning, or have it implied, 

through sarcasms or criticisms. 

For, we feel cheated, being victimized, 

conveying displeasure, protecting pride,

establishing positions, as opinions collide,

for conveying, our feelings inside,

and acceptance, things we decide. 

Shifting blames... 

Common tactics that we employ,

when discussions going nowhere, 

strongly emphasizing our points,

while being deaf to other's voices, 

letting the issues thrive...

Without forming a consensus!!
