how we’re assessed

you name us victims and impute the blame

most subtly to our lack of honest soul

seeing we have no better truer name


 

no one in your department bears the shame

so well as we do lacking better goal

you name us victims and impute the blame


 

so carefully it seems a sort of game

in which the loser has the most control

seeing we have no better truer name


 

to give the process it is much the same

in night or morning though we might cajole

you name us victims and impute the blame


 

in ways that make the wildest fox seem tame

and us most guilty though we paid the toll

seeing we have no better truer name


 

to keep from earning the payment of fame

when we have reached the bottom of the hole

you name us victims and impute the blame

seeing we have no better truer name
