“The Ripple Effect”

“As James sat in his self-built cabin, waiting for his own existence to end,
He began to try and find even one single way; his soon to be over life to defend!
With every thought that went through his mind, he ignored the blaring T.V.!
He saw people having fun away in Samoa, and thought; why can’t that be me?
His home lay near the bottom of the rapidly and violently avalanching slope.
When the noise dramatically increased, he began losing all of his hope.
Who would have thought this would occur cause of something like a birds nest?
Let ALL other theories die and lie dormant; in their final, lasting, rest.

---The truth is THIS---

A bit before, high up the mountain’s slope; the nest fell off its resting place.
Making contact with the slope’s six feet of snow; it rippled the mountain’s face
A wave led to another; till’ any would have told that all Hell had broken loose.
If were a skier in the tourist town ¼ this would’ve really gotten your goose!
One menial little incident, that happens everywhere; any day of the year.
Created something that rumbled loud enough ¼ if not careful; could pop the ear.
Nest to snow, snow to rocks, rocks to trees, trees to cliffs, cliffs to town.
All bitter birds in ‘Bird World’ were looking to give the nest’s owner a crown!

---What can we learn from this?---

Do our own actions affect anyone but us?
No matter how much you argue, bitch, or fuss ¼
Most things you do; could cause many others to cuss.
Just think about all of the people that could be tied to you.
No matter of the time, nor whatever day, it’s certainly not a few!
It is never known where your good or bad actions will ripple to.
So next time you blow, consider to whom you connect.
Do you want them to feel the emotions you project?
We must always remember ‘The Ripple Effect’!”
