Accountability – 26th Word in the “good Words" Project - Who Do We Hold Accountable and to Who?

Accountability the 26^th 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.

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

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 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

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

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?

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!

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

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

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
