Karma Dogma
If intent and actions
are cause and effect
and influence the future
what you give is what you get
and yet
what about children
caught in the crossfire
when very young
murdered in man's mire
they have not yet begun
to live
and love is all they have to give
so much for karma
symbolised by the lotus flower
but whereabouts is it
in their most needed hour
forsaken by fortune
they

Cause and effect
each effect has a cause
be gentle and mindful
as we sow, so we reap
poised in the void let us
take a consciousness leap
each effect has a cause
settle all debts of love
ensuring heart is pure
forgive, forget, move on
in tranquil peace endure
each effect has a cause
though this life will roll on
if we be nonchalant
in state of surrender
twists of

Cause and Effect
Your calm betrayal
forms rivers of crimson tears
that stream down my cheeks.
Your rabid fury
cleaves trails of searing anguish
that blaze through my heart.
It started with me
creating a false idol
in your likeliness.
Perpetuated
by your homily preaching
of a twisted grace.
I shouldn’t have knelt
to worship at your alter
of fallible love.

The Rippled Effect
THE RIPPLED EFFECT
A doctor's failure lies in the grave,
A life lost, a soul from the cradle to crave.
A teacher's failure roams the street,
Uneducated minds, a future incomplete.
A lawyer's failure behind bars, rots in jail,
Injustice solely served, a life set to fail.
An engineer's failure crumbles to the ground,
Collapsed dreams, a structure unbound.
A chef's failure tastes bitter

New Change
A little bit flashy
A little bit dainty,
Who cares about consistency
If effect turns stimulatory.
Intellectuals surrendering
To timely electrifying pleasure,
Intoxicated memory
Forgets everything they assure.
What about all those years-
The men behind you struggled to reform
What about all those you ignored,
As a part of random societal norm.
Now if we rise,
Now if we revenge,
Will you come crying back?
Promising a new

The Good Man Effect
Be contented
What God has give
Never complain.
Happy enough
What do you have
Share to others.
Love your freedom
Don't abuse it
No one get hurt.
Affect others
With your goodness
Like leaven bread.

The Ice Effect
Where have all my years gone?
there I was a mere young twenty-.one
now in a moment it seems 50 years gone
here grey haired bones ache nothing won
I've no memory of these lost years
they are frozen stiff completely still
I had many desires set to accomplish
but content I shall be, whatever it will
My memory is still alive up

Unreachable Role
By George P. Lumayag
The cast tried to act his dramatic role in the teaching-learning arc;
He portrayed a character he knew very much
with a very adjusted tone of his artistic acts.
He loved it so he danced overnight,
and he mastered it in daylight.
He believed he was a prolific actor therefore he portrayed his best.
His character was exposed

Ripple Effect
Drip, drip, drip,
Did I just slip?
Need to catch my grip,
And enjoy this trip,
As I watch my,
RIPPLE EFFECT,
Dropping into reality,
Like pebbles to the sea.
Such a small body,
In such a large entity.
Stretching endlessly,
Throughout Etrernity,
Here,
To start a new journey
Feeling so nervous,
Crashing to the surface.
Splashing with purpose,
Each drop a service,
No effort is worthless.
No proof of purchase
Needed,
To enter this circus.
Our

My Effect
The sun feeds from Spirit,
So eat of it.
The Earth is nurtured by Spirit,
So feed off of it.
Make sure all you ingest,
Do it as Spirits guest.
Share what you get,
Spirit is Not For Profit.
The Image I project,
Is not an Object,
I AM aware of my effect.
Love is what you get,
As I reflect my best aspect.
I project Grace,
And joy

Floridas Homeless Jailed And Now May Die
they shuffle them in,
quiet and cold, like bodies
stacked in a morgue, breathing
in the scent of rot, sweat, piss,
dreams beaten down to dust.
this is where they house
the lost and the broken,
the ones who drank too much,
who listened too little,
who were loved even less.
no place left but these walls,
and four bunk beds rusted thin,
men muttering to ghosts
no

paradoxical effect
at the traffic stop, where good meets bad.
a trickle of sweat runs down, you're not guilty, so you get mad.
you bicker and bicker, but to no avail, the bat in the blue badge made up his mind
you had no reason to overreact, the rage has made you blind.
i have a body in the backseat of

Butterfly effect
Born with a blinding veil
Learned
Over time, to be fearful
When life suddenly blew your sail
Deterring us off course
Learning how to fail
Made without worry
Judgment, or hate
In the beginning
Our soil was pure, so growth
Of love should take
But no, we littered soil with the dead
To grow nothingness in place, instead
We learn to be fearful of
Inevitable
