Cause and effect

each effect has a cause
be gentle and mindful
as we sow, so we reap
poised in the void let us
take a consciousness leap

each effect has a cause
settle all debts of love
ensuring heart is pure
forgive, forget, move on
in tranquil peace endure

each effect has a cause
though this life will roll on
if we be nonchalant 
in state of surrender
twists of fate do not daunt

each effect has a cause
yet karma is burnt off
once cravings are released
our suffering then ends
since ego is deceased
