The inability to separate

cause from consequence

bestows undue influence

against pure intention.

Words as daggers

flash imperious

upon our hearts,

as we gather insight

to the severity

of life as it must be,

life as we’ve been given.

The fortune of circumstance,

which allows history

to punish our logic,

may very well ruin

the sympathy within

our message,

but the indiscretion

of a defective heart

is simply unforgivable.

The words will be

nothing beyond

the manner in which

they are spoken,

and neither shall

the intent be any

greater,

than the hands of

a man can grasp.

The initial claim will be

to find consequence

tolerable, and

the lesson

forgettable,

as we mentor those

brought about us,

in both love and anger,

regardless of the

privilege of impression

or potential

of an open mind.
