John Lawless Poet Verse

Karma Dogs Me

Karma Dogs Me


I ran up quite a Karmic debt
overdrew my draft
the bill ain’t barely paid off yet
I think I got the shaft.

Cuz I don’t remember
the who, or where, or why
never read the fine print
“bill comes due after you die”.

All my cards are cancelled
collectors on my trail
my Karma for this lifetime
must be staying out of jail.

If you should see my picture
on life’s Post Office wall
tell them I wasn’t guilty
just the one who took the fall.

Karma’s credit system
climbing out from where you fell
seems better than the others
cuz their payment plan is “HELL”

Andrea Dietrich March 16, 2014 at 12:31 PM I really like this one. I wonder if I can come up with one as good about Karma!! John Lawless March 16, 2014 at 1:56 PM thanks for checking in. I've always been a fan of the "my Karma ran over my Dogma" genre. So I had a little fun writing this one.
