Accountability – 26th Word in the “good Words" Project - Who Do We Hold Accountable and to Who?
Accountability the 26th word in the "Good Words" Project, created by Jo 'Grace' Goldsmith, by giving us words to live by in hopes to inspire fellow Hubbers, to become the best writers we can be.
When Jo 'Grace' told me about the project, I gave my WORD that I would write a poem for each word she gave us.
We sometimes forget that we need to hold our leaders accountable
Accountability
By © Shyron Shenko 8/18/14
How do we hold our leaders accountable?
Where is the accountability
For our elected representatives
Our leaders if you will
When we’re the ones who elected them
And we sent them to Capitol Hill
But holding ourselves accountable
Is such a bitter pill
Because we swallowed every lie
In their campaign spiel
To hold them accountable
We must vote them out
If they are not living up to their deal
Where is the accountability for Malaysia Airlines flight MH17?
Can Putin be held accountable?
For the evil that was done
When Malaysia Airlines flight MH17
Was shot out of the sky
And 298 passengers and crew would die
Where is the accountability
For what happened on that fatal day
Do we have the right to judge?
How can we make them pay?
Most believe that Putin is to blame
Or is he just insane
Or both?
Where is the accountability for those who shot down the plane?
Where is the accountability
For the ghouls who stripped the victims
Of all they thought of value
Or for their cruel evil deeds
For the desecration of the bodies that they seized
Will they not be accountable?
Because they do not believe
Will God hold them accountable?
And let the devil have them
Satan is the one they pleased
The lack of accountability is something that only helps to fuel the insanity.
Who must we hold accountable
For what is said and done
Why don’t we look inside ourselves?
If holding someone accountable we must
If Accountability is OUR judgment
Who are we to say?
God will not hold us accountable
Come the accountability day
Where is the accountability for our President who would rather go and play movie star and shake hands to raise money when we have so much going on (some asked)
Hold the President accountable
For playing a game of pool?
I know it was at the end of a stressful day
But this really isn't cool
We don't mean to be unkind
But, our President
Must find some other way to unwind
Does he not have the right to play?
He only has the right to rule
Does he not have the right to relax
And shoot a game of pool?
Obama asked the Congress for $3.7B to help kids crossing the border
President Obama asks the Congress
For $3.7 Billion dollars
To help the kids who have crossed the border
One Congressman retorted
If we are ever back in session
You will be out of order!
Where is the Accountability of our President to do more than sanction Putin?
The accountability of our president
To do more than sanction Putin
Could we hold our president accountable?
Because he does not advertise his every move
So the terrorist could do the shooting
Information is now worldwide information
Our news is no longer just U.S.A. News
If we hold our President accountable
And he broadcast his plans
That is news the terrorist can use
So they can get the upper hand
I hope that I will be forgiven
On that accountability day
When I hold someone else accountable
As the reason for what I had to say
I hope that I will be forgiven
On that accountability day
When I hold someone else accountable
As the reason for what I had to say
Ange Shearer
From my new dear friend Ange, her take on Accountability
Hmmmm a hard one
In the same sense
As responsibility
Comes the next phase
Which is accountability
You must have ownership
Which will make you responsible
That makes you accountable
Therefore liable
You have obligations
To take control
Of everything
In your life as a whole
For everything you do
You must have accountability
So nothing you have done
Can ever be a liability
Where is the Accountability of our President for shaking hand and raising monies
Must we hold our President accountable
For raising the money to pay
For the bill Bush signed into law
Now here is what is really rude
This is the same law our President obeyed
The same law for which he is being sued
