If one is to be blamed for,

then the other should have a reason.

If the other has a reason,

then she must find proof.

If the other has found proof,

then one is guilty.

If one is guilty,

then she must be punished.

But if the other can't find a reason,

then one is not guilty.

If one is not guilty,

then the other is wrong.

If the other is wrong,

then she is guilty.

If the other is guilty,

then she must be punished.

But if one and the other are not guilty,

then it must be another.

If it is another,

then she is being blamed.

If another is being blamed,

then one and the other must find proof.

If one and the other found proof,

then another is guilty.

But if one and the other can't find proof,

then another is not guilty.

Who is guilty?

Personally, this is one of my favorite poems that I have made (I'm a bit biased.. I know). You really have to understand it. In this poem, there are 3 characters: one, the other, and another. Try applying the concept of this poem in life. Do you somehow get it now? We always blame each other for the things we do but we never even knew who started it or what was the cause of the whole situation. And in the end, when we're all so tired of trying to figure everything out, the question remaining in our minds is "Who is guilty?"

Is he guilty?
Is she guilty?
Are they guilty?

Or are you guilty?

Think about it.
