The Domino Efect


Over and over again,
it evades the human memory,
that one way or the other
we all are connected.
Because we think of ourselves more.
Most of the time.
It is both fortunate and unfortunate
but that is the human way.
It should have been common sense,
It really should be common knowledge,
Although it is not,
At least not clearly enough,
That decisions are not always
about who you think it is,
And decisions may not always affect
who it really should,
Even if those decisions really should.
Because they are affecting someone else.
Someone else somewhere.
Just like the domino effect.
