Consequences

Actions all haveconsequences,

Good – Bad –Sometimes tragic.

There is no magicpotion, salve or lotion

To relieve thepain. 

No shelter fromthe pouring rain.

No medicine tonumb the senses.

 

All that anyonecan hope is

Enough rope tospan the gap.

Perhaps a map orsome direction

To belayconfusion, 

A simple commonsense infusion.

Anything to calmand cope.

 

It helps to tradein honesty

Where murky roadsabound.

When all aroundconfusion stabs

The unrepentantsinners mind and

The elements wakeup to find us

On the brink ofdestiny.

 

Accept theverdict,

Reconcile.

A hero walks theextra mile.
