Be Warned

A Public Announcement

By D. J. ReddallPublished 9 months ago • 1 min read

Proceed with caution, for a day will come

When the fragile world you've carefully made

Will leave you alienated, lonesome

Mocked, ridiculed, insulted and betrayed

The trusted and the loved will turn on you

Or, steadfast and true, they'll sicken and die

Your body will its vile options review

And unleash maladies from toe to eye

You must keep shock and resentment at bay

These dangers lie in store for everyone

Nature, her iron logic must obey

And bring an end to each, frail mortal's fun

Time has a limited attention span

All things end in the void, where they began

Sonnet
