Let It Be

My heart was hearty I held my hopes high I was geared to go far, But hit a pothole instead and got stuck with a flat – It could have been worse; Let it be, my dear Fight Karma no more. I spread love all around I smiled and shared my joy But someone broke my heart, Slighted me and made me cry – It could have been worse; Let it be, my dear Fight Karma no more. I had my eyes set on spring, Clear blue sky and balmy breeze, But it’s fall – chilly, bare and gray, and the winter’s waiting in the wings – It could have been worse; Let it be, my dear Fight Karma no more! ~Karma contest by Line Gauthier

Congrats Abdul, and you're right: fighting karma is like fighting God, it can only end one way.
