Cause and effect Poems
The Butterfly Effect
by Richard Randolph
All actions have consequences,
but inaction has consequences too.
Every cruel act makes a crueler act more possible;
every kind act helps the recipient and enriches the giver.
A boss insults a worker,
who goes home and berates his wife,
who yells at the children,
who abuse their dog,
who bites the boss,
or more likely the innocent little girl next door.

Burning Fire
by Charmaine Klaire Alonzo
Burning fire, a wild fire in a forest
No amount of water can stop it
Raging, invincible
Smoking and so wild
Reaching even the farthest places
Continuous…simultaneous
Unprecedented…so sudden
Don’t know where it came from
Somewhere far away from home.
