I was so busy at work today that I took the random words on twitter and had barely any time to really think about it and come up with something.  So I just threw 90 seconds and crafted as quickly as possible just to get something together.  What came out was sort of a chaotic mess, but reveals an inner meaning and actually turned out better than I expected.

Thank you to the following people for providing the 9 words highlighted in blue.

@summerbreeze80 (octopus), @azredneck  (demand), @grumpy79 (faith), @IntegralChaotic (landslide), @mebanded (marketable), @infohwyman (environment), @SJohnson85 (sprinkles), @SurfCityJay (information), @stevebelt (precious)

Bad Decisions

Choices loom about you like the tendrils of an octopus
You call upon your faith and make decisions based on information
Matters demand your attention
Your poor decisions bury people in a landslide
Lies dusted off of half truth fall in sprinkles
One thing you hold precious
Your soul is not marketable in this environment
Confessions cannot absolve failure
Blood does not quench the thirsty
Pain does not end the suffering
Ice does not stop the burning
And in the end
All you can do is reveal the truth
And wait for judgement
