Congratulations to Mary Murphy (her friends call her Maz), for being the first to publicly submit a poem to the paper. A reminder that my inbox is always open for great poetry that I know the region can offer. Don’t hesitate to email sebastian@lifepublishinggroup.com. Maz’s poem is entitled ‘The Consequences’. Enjoy,
The Consequences
You never had it easy
But you’ve got one more thing of mine
Your hardship is your beauty
It’s all your pride that makes you blind
Like the heart of a man
A woman has stolen away
Wondering why everything is lost
With all she has to say
& then when you let me down
When it shouldn’t all have been
Taken all for granted
Never to be seen
There is a truth
That is passed around
& that something you’ve got of mine
Will come to stable ground
There is always something that has been lost
The consequences will take us
At any cost
