The First Domino

It all falls.

Sun shone upon the world when the darkness wasn't so strong

In the blink of an eye, blackness swallowed nearly all

Like a burning blaze ravaging all we built

Even the smallest among us felt that first domino fall

North stars rained tears of misery and grief

Childishness drops the young into the fires

Everything changed when tidal waves of pain smashed into the reef

About the Creator

Jason Morton

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
