Karmic Wheel
As the karmic wheel goes round and round,
tirelessly spinning up and spinning down...
he who is up could lose his fortune tomorrow
and he who is down is freed from his sorrow;
today’s winner may end up as tomorrow’s loser
just as today’s loser turns out next day's winner;
watch how fate answers some person's dreams
while playing havoc with another man’s schemes;
the same fellow you mocked like he was a clown
you may meet on his way up as you crash down;
there is no telling when the wheel stops to spin
or just when it decides to turn once more again;
so the best bet is to practice a little bit of humility
for we can never tell what comes up the next day...
as the karmic wheel goes round and round,
endlessly spinning up and spinning down.
