to the pages of history we might have to consign
so many potential consequences
some immaterial, others over fences.

its consequences... !

And knew he was being a jerk
Though wearing a mask
Was not a great task
His loved ones now lie in the kirk

Hatred

Hatred is blind
 causing light to recede
 into darkness. 

Oblivious of the consequences
 hatred descends,
 darkening the land 
 long before the sun sets.

While Walking Away

Those who turn around and look back
seem to have a couple of words to say;

Is it because they have betrayed a confidence,
or they are afraid of the consequences?

Prescription

Medicate me
But only until I dream
of this expansion. 

Without your guard up
I cannot predict Silent
Consequences. 

Trite,
Feeble
and Withering. 

I stand up
to pause.

Premium Member the world is flat

there is no right or wrong 
in doing anything 
no bad or good
just semi-empty opinions 
and unpredictable consequences
the world is flat 
and God stays on the edges

Much Hotter Than You Think

A lie is like a drop of oil 
floating on the water,
Its consequences are much hotter
than the oil in a frying pan
even if you think
it will work well 
as a good plan

Premium Member Consequences

The human race desires wealth and power 

Our souls grow corrupted more by the hour

With common sense it comes as no surprise 

By our own hands insure our own demise

Although 

Short is our existence on planet earth

In heaven!
