The Domino Effect
The Domino Effect
The sky fell mercilessly and tornadoes fury was landed The earth caved where seeds of new crop a farmer had planted
In recession, the capitalists made a fortune
And the deprived were left with debt and burden
In moments triumphs were not of those who had toiled hard
but those who were able to play the fluke card
The rain did not fall in the barren land
and the police encountered the innocent man
The aging parents lost their bread winning child
And the winter at the refugee camps was anything but mild
The father hit the mother in front of her young children very violently
The forest fire cost every house on the ground blatantly The privileged were given more favours and opportunity The humble were provided with disappointments and ambiguity
A family slept hungry again another night
A child was left alone in fright
The pups were treated by their caretaker unkindly
All because someone treated their loving friend badly!
