Consequences

Sometimes subtle
sometimes dramatic
consequences to our actions
when we obey the laws of God
when we disobey as well

Consequences when we do not follow
like the house built on sand
some we know of
others beyond our command

All part of a system
interconnect, in the web of life
human choices, affecting the whole world
like a stone in the water
of the beating of butterfly wings
