Karma Gets People...

She bites with gusto, 
balance of justice 
negativity masks truth, 

she'll cut you to the bone 
barefoot, soul naked 
deny her, no time to choke 
her fire without smoke, 

she'll bury you in ashes 
you will in some moment 
realize, your life self, damage, 

she'll make you ask 
the hard question 
when did your life begin 
...how will your truth end 

everything full circle 
seventy trips round the sun 
no dress rehearsal 

pick up the slack, raise the bar 
forgive yourself, claim your star 

don't give her reason to look you up- 
start searching, your star is waiting 
above
