The Explanation

Look no further for enlightenment.

I am the past.
I am the cause.
I am the responsibility.
I am the blame.

Because of me, your relationship collapsed.
Because of me, you never got
with the woman
you wanted to get
with.

Because of me, you lost your job
and your bike.
Because of me, you never got your dream job.

Because of me, you sit alone on the bench
and drink cheap beer.

Everything would be better if I didn’t exist.
Everything would have been fine if I had never come here.
Life wouldn’t be so damn fair
if it weren’t for me.

Once I was a Jew.
I was also a Swede.
I was a German for a while,
and a Greenlander.

Right now, I am a Muslim.
Sometimes, I can be a woman.
I can be anyone.

You are right.
Your own actions and choices have never had an impact on your life.

I am the excuse.
I am the causal connection.

You have locked me deep in your subconscious,
and engraved my name on your spinal cord.

I am your salvation and justification for
being a racist.

You don’t need understanding, empathy, and reflection.
You don’t need to listen either, because you have me.

And you can always count on me.

I am the explanation.
