Blame Speech, for breaking its truce with Mind and Intention
Blame Language, whose many identities collide in their path to the ear
Blame Words, for their immortality, as they fall effortlessly off the tongue
Blame the listener, who lives a life unlike our own
Blame the Ears, which only recognize the tones that fit their frequency
Blame the mind, whose habits and wishes color everything we see
Blame the World, where its world within worlds interlock and life thrive
Blame Diversity, which forces these contrasting worlds to cross and collide
Blame Individualism, which opens the pathways for unique, differing minds
Blame Me, the Speaker, for my inadequacy in speech and language
Blame Me, for being an inexperienced adult child
Blame Me, for my inability to grasp the subtleties of language and conversation
Blame whatever you wish for the unintended offenses, for conflict, and misunderstanding.

How can we blame truths that cannot be changed? You can, which is better to find an understanding that goes beyond the ears. Listen with your heart, so that all truths can be heard. Listen, so then you can speak words that flow past the filters of the ear and mind and touch the heart. This way real relationships can start.
