Cause and Consequence


Count on your fingers

With a blood tipped wing

Times that you flew free

Times that all people sing

 

In the moments of peace

Hailing our prosperity

As we fail to consider

Those who fell to disparity


Life holds a truth of balance

Even as it hides how it's fair

With action comes consequence

The famous inseparable pair

I am an unpublished poet and have been writing for the past two years. I have many poems but am hesitant to share online but gladly share in person. I still write because of all those that have enjoyed reading my writing.
