No Blame—No Shame[1]

No blame—No shame;

That’s not the game.

No one’s at fault,

No one to name.

 

Neither me nor you,

Nor anywho.

Ah ha! Ha ha!

I release you, too.

 

No one to fault,

No one to shame.

Blame patterns and issues,

Expose them by name!

Theophus “Thee” Smith

Atlanta, Georgia, USA


[1] “I call [it] no-fault reconciliation—the recognition that we are all of a kind, with the same vulnerabilities, the same possibilities, and the same needs for God and each other.” C. Eric Lincoln, “Coming Through the Fire: Surviving Race and Place in America” (Duke University Press, 1996, page 157)
