Ramification

Results so numerous and vague
An action or decision, their source
Manifesting in so many links
Interlinked between an act and many consequences
Fraction of a whole lot of unexpected events
Intent isn’t a stronghold, one tune leads to several beats
Complications flood in like a roaring rain
Algorithm ignored and misplaced in this process
Transient touch of the finger to give a thousand waves on water
In one act, pain, happiness, glory, shame or blessing can result
One way traffic from action to reaction exists in many branches
Necessitating a need for careful calculation before any deed is done.
