Damn, been a long time since I've done this. Alright, this something I came up after a breif discussion. It is a parable, guess what it alludes too.
If only I hadn't done it that night.
Got more drunk than my dad ever did.
The prison smells like cat piss, and rotted carcass.
Savergy(spelling) engulfs the room, alongside a musk so deadly I dare not breath in through my mouth or risk dying.
I don't belong here, I begged, I don't!
If only the beer hadn't been there, if only it hadn't been there.
"What do you mean if it hadn't have been there?"
I wouldn't have gotten drunk and killed two men.
"What if you had, without getting drunk?"
I wouldn't have! Its not fair blast it all!
"So who should be in jail now?"
Well... No one...
"But surely someone is responsible, if not you, who?"
Perhaps no one is responsible. Yes that is it!
"If so why are you in jail?"
Because I killed some people...
"Then it is your fault?"
No it was the beer that made me do it!
"Then it is the beer bottles fault?"
No!
"Should the beer bottle be thrown into jail instead, it is it's fault isn't it?"
No! That wouldn't mean anything.
"Then the makers of the beer bottle? Should they be thrown in jail?"
They didn't do anything.
"Except sell you the beer, so it's their fault, blame them, blame them!"
But they didn't make me drink so much, I did that myself...
"WHO CARES! Its obviously their fault, they were the ones who sold you the bottle, you used the bottle and got drunk. IT'S THEIR FAULT!"
But I'm the one who bought it in the first place, one bottle would have been enough for me, but I had to continue, until they were all gone, knowing what might eventually come...
"So whose fault is it?"
Mine...
