Con-se-quence (noun)
As in: like a ripple in a pond,
Consequences unfold in a chain reaction,
Each one building upon the last,
A domino effect of choices made.
As in: a skipped assignment leading to a failing grade,
Consequences can be harsh lessons learned,
The weight of regret and missed opportunities,
Heavy burdens to carry.
As in: a kind word leading to a new friendship,
Consequences can also bring unexpected joys,
A simple action creating ripples of positivity,
Shaping the course of our lives.
As in: a reckless decision leading to a tragic end,
Consequences can be unforgiving,
A harsh reminder of the power of our choices,
And the impact they have on our world.
