The Domino Effect

While any movement May remain unseen, There's great potential That can intervene. From a mild breeze To caress and heal. To the mightiest hurricane, That won't appeal. Its inertial energy shows Strength by the root, Yet often overcome By another's pursuit. This cause is seldom visible Through the noise all about. Though its effect may shatter, What's leftover to doubt. When we see some resistance, Friction stands by, As the spark to that fire, Has answered the why. Where the minute can escape, Our mind and our sight, Every second has an impact, That gives in to the light. Just as intolerance and ignorance Brews solely to agitate, Serving up that cold dish, For those hungry to hate. Hence, this effort highlights The smallest of acts. That gets the ball rolling, To those much bigger facts.
