The Words Have Been Spoken

Too late now
    to take back words
    you've said

   The words left 
   your mouth

   Now you must live 
   with it

   The universe is filled
   with words 
   floating by

  some of them 
  have cosmic signifigance

  Most just float out
  to the stars

  But you've made your
  mark on things

  You'll have to live with
  with the consequences

 Take a few 
 moments to
 consider what you've 
 done

 Be prepared for the 
 onslaught

 Time will tell how
 you'll handle it

 Let the winds continue 
 to blow

 Cool air surrounds you
 now

You'll be ready for 
the reaction which
is coming 

Overhead a thousand 
galaxies return to dust

Let's have some perspective!
