Law of karma

the thought that we are separate
is simply what’s called the ego
pursuing its own well-being
attachments afraid to let go

this false identity serves us
to navigate this harsh terrain
but somewhere the soul’s script is lost
and then life is felt as a strain

there then are two of us in here
one the ego, other the soul
love is the pulse that determines
what path we should take to feel whole

karma, law of cause and effect
arises from ego’s craving
whilst if we but choose to be still
soul’s free from desires enslaving

love alone resolves all conflicts
so it’s really up to us
to succumb to lust or to rise
by getting aboard God’s bliss bus

when ego acts karma rebounds
as fate birthed by seeds we did sow
being but our brothers calling
to repay debts of love we owe
