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.
......
Bound by the weight of want,
I move,yet stay still.
Each thought circles back,
a loop I cannot break.
Desire grips like iron,
soft in its beginning,
unyielding in its hold.
Freedom fades into the distance,
a mirage I can only watch.
