Future

Am I creating a future
Or just
Shovelling consequences

Almost everything we do
Puts in motion something new
Or maybe that’s just more of the same
But there’s no one else for us to blame
Think carefully about repeat actions
Most of the time they’re just distractions
Much is possible but only a few
Choose wise actions and follow through
Everything that we have today
Is just past decisions on display

Am I creating a future
Or just
Shovelling consequences
