Karma

People like the thought of Karma
It gives justice some magic
They rule out Providence completely
I believe that is tragic
To them it's far fetched
That God can teach you a lesson
Or look down on creation
And find ways to give blessings

They want pain for wrongdoers
On a system like gravity 
And to be paid for conscientiousness
Well again, that's a tragedy
Can the threat of a sharp knife erase someone's evil? 
Can a carrot on a stick make bad people good people?
Be real...

Your words motivated to make me think more about karma. Your poem sounds like a rap in my head. I like it.
