Think Before Acting

Our earlier actions have bearing on tomorrow,
No matter how minuscule in persuasion they be.
Oft times some reaction toted with it, sorrows,
Undulating toward others who didn't agree.

At times when acting when void of thought,
Assuming our choices would affect just one.
Futile attempts to undo guided us to naught,
Because no action taken ever became undone.
