Like a detective’s badge - an

Accolade - with the gun to lend it

Credence,

He laid his pride 

.

Onto the cold, boardroom table

.

And then held himself accountable

To his part within the play.

.

.

                                The decisions we make

                                Inform the outcomes

.

                                That we inevitably have to own. 

.

                                And we don’t get to renege on that contract

                                Out of wanting, or regret - for while

                                The past, remains the past,

                                And our choices remain those choices,

.

                                It follows that their consequences

                                Are but the things that we have left

.

     To so knowingly seek to pacify

     And then willfully

accept.

.

.
