CONSEQUENCE, A PREREQUISITE TO THE FALL

Folder: 
JOURNAL #19

the more lovely the innocent

the farther the sinner's downward fall

believe not always what you see

but what your warning gut tells you

precede with caution

self preservation breeds

challenged children of a better tomorrow

defectors of the far too tired and old ways

charity can fail even its own futile impoverished

teachings

ah but scaffolding of hope

and the skill of practiced will

cross all boundaries that are most commonly

put before and upon man

so always remember to strive to be different

whenever you can

but not to the exclusion of a far better

individual....................
