These days, the question: “Why did you,
our friend, a double edged sword,
let people apply
a power whose consequences some cannot afford?”
Engulfs our thoughts
Was it the mask you put on that
created the delusion:
“Societal approval is necessary to survival”?
We have yet to reach a conclusion
When Mr. Mollo forgot to
wish his best friend a “happy birthday”
His friendship was hurt and
their relationship withered away
If Alison had studied, for her exams, just a few minutes more,
a bigger effort (by a mere five minutes!) she could have made;
perhaps she would have passed the class.
But didn’t due to her failing grades
If the person walking down the sidewalk had been
less distracted and more aware,
they would’ve noticed the metal screw protruding from the ground;
the one that snagged their pants, causing them to tear
A tree cannot come to be
unless its planted from seed
My friend, you never realized
its us, not that negative power, that you need
For we can destroy friendships,
save lives, or prevent an attack
We’re sure you know as well as any
“it was the straw that broke the camel’s back”
As tiny as some of us are,
we are all of significance; and don’t need to grow bigger
If you look closely enough,
You’ll notice we’re all in the bigger picture
Best regards,
the Little Things
