Best Accountability Poems

In life, there’s plenty, and various points of view
Aged twenty, forty or more, give or take a few
Whether one has gone full circle, half or even third
This question has been asked, or you may just have heard.

When something you have done, or have decided upon
Like...

Always
Conscious of
Considerable responsibility
Oath to none, but driven by self
Unreasonable guilt;
Never justified
Testimonial to morality
And unwavering devotion
Believing always
In taking the higher path
Living by a code
Invisible to most
Though terribly difficult on
Yourself...

In this world of sin and shame,
It's hard to know who is to blame.

We become desensitized, 
To the evil on the rise.

Those beliefs we know are wrong,
Are lived daily among the throngs.

Is there no end to hate and greed?
What will it take to follow God's...

as adults we must be accountable for our own behavior
if we expect the same from our children.
when children see political leaders in compromising positions, 
adults fighting in court rooms, PTA meetings and city council sessions
and fathers and mothers verbally and physically abusing each other.

Action!
Count on yourself!
Can't take anyone else's responsibilities.
Only you can!
Understand why you should
Not make
The mistake
Andy made by driving drunk.
B.J. should have driven that night
If Andy was so drunk.
Learn from your mistakes and bad choices.
If you do not
Then the same will happen to
You!...

Assume you have to ask questions and you
Can mess up. You	
Can apologize and make it up by 
Offering to help
Understand a problem and 
Never pretend to empathize. Just
Treat people right

Ask to hear both sides of a story
Before making one evil, another inheriting all glory
Illustrate what...

Andy was driving.
Caused a
Car crash
On the highway.
Unbelievable!
Now
That
A friend has
Been killed.
It has caused chaos
Leading him
Into
Taking responsibility for his own actions,
Yet, he still blames himself....

Why is accountability so allusive to mankind?
I think that many of us forget, that God is not blind.

There is always an excuse, an easier path to take.
Will our deception anger God, or make his heart break?

Can’t all be forgiven, why must we show disdain?
Practice what...

When you drink and drive,
Your Accountability
Is gone. Here and now....

Today,
there are no rubber ducks
or mother's marigold skirts
to hide behind
as we once did.

In their place,
lurking dark and hoary,
a bathtub mist
updrafts thick with loose spores,
and mildew veins
sprawling
behind caulked-over creases.

The day,
shrinking away heavy with time,
as a body
sagging
into
water.

Even the washing suds have gone sour,
worn out honeysuckle soap.
Vibrant bubbles...

One goal and many choices,
Yet one is heard among the voices.
We are learning to battle out the bad,
Changing for a new heart that’s glad.

Let’s look at the sources,
There are two opposing forces.
One says come and stay,
The other says get lost, go away!

As we sank down...

up at the pearly gates, there they stood 
waiting in line one fine day
the lady with the angel's voice 
who sang only in her shower
the painter-perfectionist 
who would never soil a blank canvas
the actor who was too shy 
to try for roles in the theater
the...

gathering and bruising typhoon rain
purrs the pain 
jumping off the tracks blind locomotive train
wreck to maime
blooding noses quicker than white caine 
ignorance pickled conductors always feign 
with hands stained red from another man's ration of grain
predictable as the charted tides of Maine
mismatching words and actions...
