Karma
Wracked with guilt I lay
troubled in spirit body all thoughts invoke
recalls my elevation
gut wrenching waves of remorse robs sustenance
unaware of how one’s life’s machinations
can cripple one’s destiny
no spirituality
boastful and selfish
no code to live by
wishful thinking throughout my earthly sojourn
for accumulated wealth
now weary in spirit my riches suffocates
my life review horrifies
capturing each thought word and deed emphasised
it’s counterpart reaction denigrates me
friends and love ones all harbouring resentments
had I known before
would I have heeded
the wheel of life will summon me once again
at the appropriate time a contract signed
karmically a chosen life regenerates
chance to right the wrongs
