Notes About The Poem

For contest sponsored by Sara Jama

Casualty of your Cruelty

Casualty of your cruelty and lack of empathy
Is the beginning of your karma journey
What you tossed into the universe
Comes back full force as blessing or curse

Walking in another's shoes
Feeling for them as you do for you
Empathy a symphony of humanity
Put an end to selfish silver vanity

Casualty of your cruelty just may be
Loved ones you have destined with your deed
For what comes around goes around indeed
May not hit you but hits relative you see

Dear Karen, poetic soul, youv delivered a poem that hits so deep! And i agree with you karma knows and karma always is on time, and those that treat others mindlessly as they want without empathy, or sympathy, they will taste exactly what they serve eventually, for what goes around comes back around! Love the message youv delivered here! Pleasure reading you today! Sending you light always

An eye-opener of a poem, the dire warnings may come about. I find it to be a good job of writing.

Your "Casualty of your Cruelty" is a powerful write. Oh yes, what comes around goes around. I let God handle things, for He does it the best. "Good Luck" if for a contest. Have a blessed/lovely day writing away.........
