Accountable Poems | Examples


Be Accountable Or Pay the Cost

Do we care and do enough

Do we try and give as much

Back as we always give

Or is our life about hoarding things

Do we share or keep it close

Do we need or want the most

Are we driven by cravings and desires

Are we setting the world on fire

That will burn all and ourselves to the ground

Wreaking destruction with our war sounds

Are we guilty of allowing this

Will we accept accountability for it

Do we go through life with eyes closed

Mind shut down we don't want to know about it

Do we deny what's obvious

Humanity may become superfluous

In a world where there is nothing left

No more air to breathe a breath

We may all die ignorant yet

Because we could and would not do our best

To change our nature or our ways

So in the end it is no shock

That one day this arrogant human race would pay.

Premium Member Will We Be Accountable

We are spiritual entities
Confined inside uncomfortable 
Gassy, bloated, human bodies.
That reflect our habits.

We overeat.
We under-exercise.
We over drink.
We drive across the street, instead of walking.

Our humanness is reflected
In so many ways, throughout the day
Sometimes we forget we are spiritual
Beings trapped inside these not-so-great
Shells that we have not taken care of.

When we leave this earthly body
Behind us, we will see our true
Soul self, and it will be jumping
And laughing, and playing with
Glee, so glad to escape our mistakes.

Will we have to explain what we
Let happen to our human shells?
I certainly hope not.


Unsurmountable and Held Accountable

Unsurmountable and Held Accountable

When difficulties are unsurmountable
We should always be held accountable;
Become involved;
Problems solved;
When done will feel more comfortable.

Jim Horn

What I have decided after reading more
of Hillary's "What Happened."

Premium Member Make Your Father Accountable For Leaving You

I’m not your father, 
So pick up your arrogant attitude and get off my case!
Take your issue with being told to go to school, and instead, 
Phone a scream at your real father’s face,

You know, the guy that left you when you were born, 
Left you without an old man,
Leaving your mother to raise the three of you alone, yep, 
The guy that got up and ran,

Make him accountable, phone him and abuse him,
Tell him how he messed up your life,
Stop blaming everyone here for your woes, 
Stop making excuses for his beautiful wife.

His choice to move two thousand k’s away from you…. 
That made your emotional scar,
The sooner you realize these life realities, 
The sooner you’ll see how lucky you are.

Accountable and Unsurmountable

Accountable and Unsurmountable

At first ship was admired and reliable,
Every piece was totally accountable.
Under and below;
Wreath do throw;
Sunk and destruction was unsurmountable.

This is truly moving regarding death and
destruction caused by damaged and
sinking ships.

Jim Horn


Accountable

As a child I was taught to share,
Not to talk back, be polite, don't stare,
Limited to what I was permitted to see,
No radio music, no movies rated beyond pg 13,
We prayed every night before we went to sleep,
And before every meal when we sat down to eat,
We had chores every morning before we went off to school,
There was no getting paid for it, it was just something you do,
If you said a bad word, you got .your mouth washed out with soap,
Pamolive was my best friend, don't you know,
If you got caught lying or being sneaky,
You had better believe you were getting a beating,
And if you didn't have anything nice or respectful to say,
You were to turn your head and walk away,
There was no way to blow off steam,
Your family knew everything!,
And when I look back now, I can say that I'm thankful,
For these are the things that made me accountable.

Premium Member Accountable For Each Moment - Ephesians 5: 16

The scriptures call us to account
to redeem our precious time
making sure it's not wasted
for to do so is a crime

This exhortation is for a reason
for these evil days, we live in
would seek to make us sleepy
spiritually blind gripped by sin

So make sure you value time
making every moment count
getting all you can from it
filling your needed fount

God has declared a judgement
on all mankind to speak
to tell of all they've done
for some, the outcome will be bleak

So remember redeem the time
in these evil days
for God's word declares it
nothing is hidden God says

AUTHOR NOTES: Redeeming the time... Ephesians 5:16

I'M Accountable Only To Myself

I have a real problem trusting people,
a lesson I keep learning thought out my life,
as soon as I think you can depend on someone,
there no where in site.

I don't know why I bother,
maybe it's me that expects to much,
but if you going to say you'll something,
bloody do it, don't lie.

This really freaking annoys me,
because I always plan my days,
everything has to account for,
I have a lot of things on during the day.

This is very reason,
I rarely ask for help,
they may have good intentions,
but when I really need them they let me down.

I guess it's back to square one,
better off doing everything myself,
at least I no things will get done,
because then I'm accountable only to myself.

Premium Member I Stand Fully Accountable

So hit me with yer best shot

Accountable

You're responsible
For every word you utter
Dare you throw a stone?

Held Accountable-

It was my mother who nurtured me as a boy and showed me what I would see in a good 
wife, but it was my father that groomed me to be a good man and provider for my wife and 
family. Once my mother and fathers work was done, my God then lead me to my wife and it 
was his inspired word that held me accountable to my vows to her until he calls me home.
