The Poet’s Corner

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
