We are all responsible for all
While the banksters offer up their apologies (their record year-end bonuses secure), the politicians wring their hands, and the media (implicity, mind you) absolve themselves of any and all wrongdoing, I whittle away at a villanelle, another poem inspired by a recent long, slow reading of The Brothers Karamazov.
I am, thereby, reminded of Mitya's plea that "We are all responsible for all." What a foreign idea in this day and age.
