The Ripples in the Water Push Outward

Linking with Poets United for the Midweek Motif ~ Climate Change

Come join us!


Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another. ~Juvenal, Satires

Everything has an effect on something
The ripples in the water push outward
The sun can burn
Plants can die
The rain can flood
Trees swept away
The wind can destroy
What man has made
For cowardice can kill a man
And complacency can kill many

If the runners at the back try to run to the exit door, the ones in front get trampled upon
The same is true for nature and man
If the ones that came before us do not think about our existence
Then the ones that come later will reap the affects in some way
Everything we do has an outcome
The ripples in the water push outward
Be it good or be it bad
All things must be considered
And nothing left to chance
The future is in our hands!
