Crooked Consequences Poem by Lyn Paul

Crooked Consequences

Rating: 5.0


Nothing in life is straight
Nor is it easy
Black, white or colour
Raw or cooked
Truth or dare
Should you just follow
Or Face the consequences

Consequences now seen
Determined by highs
Determined by lows
Never having held back in honesty
Has brought heavy weight

Yet eyes need to be opened

So many just riding in life
On others boards
Others waves
Too afraid to speak
Afraid to give ideas
Yet so many want to listen

Learn we must
To not follow
Listen to every word
Learn we must
To hear
Whatever can be heard

So feel thecalmness in nature
May itbring free spirit
To follow who you are
It will give guidance and direction
And catch you
If
Freefalling

Listen we must to other
And too........
We all need to be heard.

A deep poem, there is a calmness in nature that connects with us letting us descern true right from wrong, following others is not fitting when others are hurt

We all wish to be heard! Equally important it is to listen carefully to others. Only after listening to the story completely and weighing the pros and cons of an action, arrive at conclusions and move into action! Very practical tips for life, Lyn!
