Consequences
by Sam M. Phillips

Do you doubt the wrath of God
Just because the path you’ve trod
Did not mention His name?
The forces of life are the same
Whether you acknowledge them or not,
The sun will still burn hot
And the depths of the ocean run cool,
You are a fool
To believe you are out of sight,
And everything you do is right
Just because it is possible,
Be more responsible
Or the consequences will be on your own head,
While you’re living
And long after you’re dead.
