Consequences

Actions all have consequences,
Good – Bad – Sometimes tragic.
There is no magic potion, salve or lotion
To relieve the pain. 
No shelter from the pouring rain.
No medicine to numb the senses.
 
All that anyone can hope is
Enough rope to span the gap.
Perhaps a map or some direction
To belay confusion, 
A simple common sense infusion.
Anything to calm and cope.
 
It helps to trade in honesty
Where murky roads abound.
When all around confusion stabs
The unrepentant sinners mind and
The elements wake up to find us
On the brink of destiny.
 
Accept the verdict,
Reconcile.
A hero walks the extra mile.
