Karma magnetic

STOP! screams the sign
As the bus slowly glides
To a place made for safety
For the children's home rides

The blare of the horn
On the old wagon shifter
As it ignores the stop
And skirts like a drifter

The children cry out
In shock and dismay
As the old wagon shifter
Screeches away

Up ahead on the pavement 
The old shifter has stopped 
The police are all there
And the front tyre is popped

The driver reflects
On this karma magnetic
As the school bus slows down
To see justice poetic
