RIP R. W.

One moment of impulse
And the world is stopped.
One moment of weakness
So many lives are rocked,
It took only one moment
It cannot be taken back.

Would you change your mind,
If you’d had the chance?
If you could see the ripple,
The change in circumstance?
If you had thought about
The tears of those you’d loved?

Moot after just one moment-
You’re forever gone.

I like this poem, it's so relevant nowadays, when celebrities like tiger Woods have lost their reputation because they acted on their impulses.
