THE SIXTH DIMENSION OF BLAME

Rev. Lord C.M. Bechard


Notice of absence from Rev. Lord C.M. Bechard
I may not be around since reality loves to buckle and collapse at the most inconvenient times. I will eventually get back with you, once I conquer whatever is before Me making Me absent. But until then, wish Me luck, for I will need all I may muster.

A human doesn’t break in a vacuum;
pressure has fingerprints.  
No one wakes up craving ruin;  
they’re pushed, inch by inch,  
toward a door they never meant to open.

 

But we point at the hand,  
we point at the tool,  
we point anywhere except the mirror;
because mirrors burn.

 

Judging the human behind the act  
without asking what carved the path  
is the oldest trick in the book:  
absolve the crowd,  
condemn the individual,  
and call the story clean.

 

But step into the sixth dimension;
where cause isn’t a line,  
it’s a web.  
Where every trigger has a trigger,  
and every urge has a root  
buried in a thousand small cuts  
no one bothered to see.

 

What slight was twisted against them?  
What silence sharpened the edge?  
What loneliness fermented into pressure  
until it finally overflowed?

 

These are the questions  
no one wants to touch;
because answering them  
means admitting the truth:  
that communities can fail their own,  
that neglect can sculpt a monster,  
that hubris can steer a whole species  
into the same ditch  
again and again.

 

Humanity keeps studying each other  
not to understand,  
but to manipulate;
and then wonders why  
some souls snap under the weight  
of being treated like pieces on a board.

 

A human doesn’t kill by nature;  
they fracture by design,  
by circumstance,  
by the cold machinery  
of a world that forgets empathy  
until it’s too late.

 

And the cycle continues  
as long as blame stays external  
and responsibility stays buried.

 

Until we face the truth  
of what unity becomes  
without compassion; 
we’ll keep birthing storms  
and pretending we don’t know  
where the thunder came from.

  • Comment from author about the poem: There is a webbing trail all around us. We must look past ourselves to even comprehend any type of understanding within this concept. Only then do we truly ascend.

    Some great lines here "a mirror burns" This poem attacks the common view of blame and responsibility as individual. It is all of our responsibility as a society so nicely expressed as a web. I love the philosophy of this write and for that alone it gets a fave and if I could give more I would for the lines and language so clearly expressed in poetic form. Very nicely done
