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!
