Insufficient Funds

Insufficient Funds

There is more to choice
Than a series of proceeding consequences
There is a cost for everything
Everything we do

And no matter what
We've been through
What we choose to do
Is never free

We create not only rippling consequences
First, we withdraw from our limited reserves
To bleed the drop
That creates the ripple

Before we affect others
As a living consequence in their lives
We make a decision
Commit to an action
That could cost us everything

So long as it doesn't
We make the same decision again
And again
Until the reserve runs dry
And never again do we create ripples
Never again do we make a decision
