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.
