Karma Is An Elephant

Never say never, right? Wrong. 
I reject that age-old premise.
Never speak ill of anyone,
Never mistreat,
Never betray,
Never fail to apologize 
For slights you've caused,
Never fail to forgive trivialities,
Never burn all your bridges,
Never turn away from God,
Never step on the neck 
Of someone 
You're bound to meet 
When your up is down,
Never cross the rubicon 
Of no return, of no redemption.
Instead, always do the right thing,
Always spread positivity,
Always help when help is needed.
Your words and deeds 
Determine your destiny 
Remember, everything in life 
Comes full circle.
Karma, no matter what kind, is...
An elephant.
