Karma

Bound by a steel forged chain
The more he struggled the stronger it became
Handcuffed with tenuous desire 
A self-fulfilling mind needing to be lifted higher

Through the darkness he must chart
A path guided by the sound of a beating heart
Each step, each breath, each thought
Fuelling the fire, the hands that forge the sword

A weapon so strong yet quiescent
In the hands of the man whose mind is present
Brought down upon the bracing hindrance
Will lead him upon a path of least resistance
