Karma
Said a dream about the future
In the back of his mind to lay quiet
A past to put in trash barrel
His vision is a NOW
Forsaking external pleasures for internal time
He would fail in every Job that was taken
Every one of his peers would brand him A SUCKER
The Karma is a projector
projecting what's to be on his make believe PLASMA TV
Coddling a remnant,this pacifier from his WAY BACK years
Why let go of it when it was so much fun?
It is simpler days that we want to hang on to
Afraid to face the Eventual certainty
They call him a QUACK
for trying to regain
Something that is no more
which HE can never get back
