Good intentions do not absolve you

of the consequences unintended.

Ignoring that tarnishes your good heart.

Selfish choices scream validation due

from all those unaware left upended.

Good intentions do not absolve you

*

of hurtful means used to manage wounds

of needs left silently unattended.

Ignoring that tarnishes your good heart.

*

For the bleeding pain of ignorant fools

will never justify time suspended.

Good intentions do not absolve you

*

responsibility of planned gene pools,

leaving mindful development stunted.

Ignoring that tarnishes your good heart.

*

Your coloring should not leave black and blue

bruises on the small world you’ve offended.

Good intentions do not absolve you,

Ignoring that tarnishes your good heart.
