THE DAWN OF CONSEQUENCE

In a world of flaws and laws
Where nature takes the path of norms,
And ethics set the standard for all.
The good and the best should all be done;
A stone that is thrown into the air,
Stays awhile and revisits the earth.
The soul that errs the human race
Stays awhile and reaps his wage.

The sun that rises must stay to set;
The man that swims in the unholy sea
Puts a stain on his ultimate dreams,
Muffling with mats his glorious rays.
The hand that hurts the poor,
The arm that takes arms against neighbors
Shall surely fall in the wrong floor,
Moving slowly from splendor to tremor.

Save a soul and save your soul,
Love the creations and love the creator:
Give to all and all will be yours,
Sow to all and all will come.
Burn your seat of idle sedentary
Else you reap tones of tragedies.
Long not for a stained wealth
Nor for the bread of crime and threat.
Such pleasures pave the path for pains.
In all your being and doing,
Set your head and think ahead
About the pending dawn of consequence.
