When did it become my fault?
Smile!! You look unapproachable and rude!
You're smiling at me. Does that mean you want me? Of Course, it does!
Why are you always smiling? It's your fault they are coming to you like that!
You're too comfortable!
You're too easy!
Stop smiling! You're giving them a reason!
Smile! You look rude!
Don't Smile!
Smile!
In the end, it won't matter, will It?
After all, it's always going to be my fault!
And then they wonder why the preyed upon stay silent!

My comments on the poem “When did the prey become the one to blame ?” by Cerry.
This reminds us of one of the fables from the French writer La Fontaine (1621-1695), about the wolf who attacked a lamb who was drinking downstream, accusing it of muddying the water. The wolf itself was drinking UPSTREAM. The prey became the one to blame…
