Accountable
adjective | (of a person, organization, or institution)
required or expected to justify actions or decisions.
Careless flick of arm
to spill coffee and spend hours
cleaning the mistake.
Careless flick of pen
to write horrors into law,
no time spent mourning.
Feel worse for the spill
of drink on carpet than they
do for carpet bombs.

Shewwwww. You said it here.
Great…and you’ve avoided adjectives until the end, which focuses our feelings and gets us to a powerful climax.
