Every Action



Every action has its reaction.
What goes up comes down.
And that which is sent,
Returns a similar sentiment.

Is this obviousness,
Just too obvious not to see?
If someone intentionally,
Inflicts upon another a pain meant to feel.
The reality of that action is not forgotten.
Confusing truth to delude is not reality.

No one born to have a consciousness,
Happened without it known...
Of everything done they do.
Too many confess sins to make.
To believe them erased.
As if chalk from a blackboard.
Free and clear to create more sins.

That's why this process was discovered.
To then be called 'consciousness'.
This is just a guess.

And...
As difficult as it is for many to accept,
Others who also make excuses...
Choose that to do to know as well.
Take for example...
If a child grows never to know,
What being held accountable means...
For something done they implemented.
And admit the being responsible for it.
Children like this grow older not up,
To become adults.

Now...
To perceive this thought process,
Is an entitlement?
A way of life and its quality,
Becomes easily destroyed.
By people pleading their innocence.
With it to place blame on someone else,
Who taught them when, where and how...
To get the attention.
If their threats are not taken seriously.

All one has to do is stop.
And think with their minds to use.
Eyes to see and ears to hear,
What it is they defend to protect.
And none of it has to do with truth.
Or the proof of evidence,
Living reality has produced.
To offend whenever mentioned!
