Karma suddenly dropped the other shoe
She bit off more that she could chew
Payback’s a b*tch when you’re a snitch

We've taken abuse too long.
You've heard of revenge of the nerds.
This will be much worse.

Your Stimulus cheque has gone astray
To Trump Resorts for employee pay
With Trump to lead it
You know they need it
As they just might file "Bankrupt" today!
she makes my life hell
with the yelling and the screaming
why do you have to be so mean
well it doesn't matter cause payback sucks
and it's knocking at your door!

Our Senator thought he’s flying high,
then with dented pride he wondered why,
he received his reward,
the walking eagle award,
‘cause he’s so full of poop he can’t fly.

Born to suffer in silence,
The reason is written in stone,
Does karma unleash all the violence?
When payback comes cantering home. Don
Our little subtle hell world has great suffering, do we earn our Personal persecution?
A smirk ghosts
by torn lips
razored puce
and throbbing wild
to fire a fusillade
of mortar murmurs
armed with fangs
honed in cauldrons
belching molten words
to palsy the gainsay
of jesters
who scarify and behead
bliss.
Stop the rumours
Don't you know rumours, hurt
Get the facts
Before you lash back
Fake news makes a person attack
Stop the gossip
Don't bite back
That only attracts
Find another way to fightback
Why not pray and just sit back
Let 'God' do the payback.
don't be fooled by the grey beard,
I'm the science fiction you speak of,
the little wizard bloke in the picture
whose antics between gravestones
and christening robes jerk like those
flicker book pages we made as kids,
and now, old again, today is payback
Yes Prince Ekpemandu
vengeance is mine saith the Lord,
and I would have justice for it too,
what was done to this lady be abhorred,
that the mongrel dog gets his due!
punishment...Don Johnson
#Dedicated to the lady who get raped
in that Abia state university....
Imagine that!
A laconic and diffident High School kid
Who suddenly has a voice whenever he's used
As target practice. He chucks back grenades
Lobbed at him by bullies. And waits no time
Airing his grievances as payback
Bravo, kid, bravo! Rock on, with your bad self!

At first the words
The thoughts
The voices
A welcome change.
Like a neglected child
showing a new trick,
'Look, Look at me...
Look what I can do!'
Till you feel sick.
It is a nice visit of myself
Now the stay is over welcome
Please leave
I need to be numb
It is my own payback
for turning into a zombie.
At first, he'd meant to make a difference.
But, he lost his ideals making deals-
the back-room,
you-scratch-my-back-I'll-scratch-yours,
backstabbing variety...
Then there was the payback, backlash and push-back.
Now no one recognizes him, back home.

perhaps it was a karma sign,
where once before a different life time,
sow to reap begins to chime,
we suffer here, it aint divine?
possible payback for the crime,
what would i know,
it's the hurting mime,
ironic patterns divining,
your planet is aligning ,
with mine?

Brilliant execution
Orders followed
Self preservation
Far from battle
Cloistered warmly, safe
Divinely chosen to sit
In Bill's house on the hill
Awaiting the body count
Lives snuffed out
Two years ago
Did not go away
Now back to haunt
Karma is real; payback
In other lives and places
Time's a continuum
Matter's indestructible
how much suffering, do i need,
for my grasping, nastiness unsung,
how much aching payback, 4 word n deed,
before me spirit's, sprung,
escaping from this pathetic weed,
a hell on earth is yet decreed,
suffering now getting up to speed,
if i preferred, be hung:)
song of one bung lung is sung....
thank you Elizabeth Wesley,
" Emptiness of Living,".... Don
There was once a young man from LaSalle,
Who quite loved to fall back in the fall.
But the spring's jump ahead
Found him lying abed
An hour late for his job at the mall.
His boss said, "Being late will not do.
Falling back means one springs ahead too.
We will show you the gate
If you come to work late.
Early bed is the right way for you."

Letter To a Fugitive
Hope this finds you well
And not in burning Hell:
Law is no man's enemy
Police knows no infamy,
It is a trusted Friend
By you till to the end...
of the tightening tether
on your neck's leather
until you stop on track
to inevitably payback!
If the letter gets to you,
Reply me will you do!
I'll find you by the smell
And, I'll get you I can tell!
Definition..one who uses obsequious compliments,
to gain self-serving favor or advantage from another.
P…parasites who want payback
H..harmful hucksters, hedonists
O…obsessive, offenders, outlandish
N..nebulous, narcisstic, nuisances
I….impetuous imbeciles, imposing
E..egocentrical, entangling, enemies
S…support-savages, so selfish!

There once was a well known professor
who married our town's tax assessor...
His outrageous affair
with his student au'pair
Would upset his wife, and distress her!
He begged for forgiveness and got it
He even thought she had forgot it!
She never did scold,
but he thought she was cold,
while pulling his name for an audit !!

PAYBACK
blood oranges oscillate
within plundered peels
squeezed out surreptitiously
bleeding on her heels
clicking brutish jaws
on paper thin walls
the pied piper grins
with greenback gall
HOWEVER...heaven insists,
maligned orange restitution
purification of every last drop.
shark lust sees only the dark
heel-harpoons of every female
stab his comeuppance heart.

Suffering is good for the Immortal Soul,
its payback time for when you stole,
a husband from his wife? in another life,
Far beyond your control?
Logic of the universe!
Flows ironic and inverse,
T'ween Birth and the bloody hearse,
unknown your sin so droll,
the bitterest gall you hold,
be nasty it gets worse,
just do your time i'm told!
Suffering your time in the Earth.
Don Johnson
Black, black
Born black
Head to toe black
Back black, side black, cock black
Every inch black
Midnight without a star,
Black Friday, black Saturday, every day black male
Black out from home
Black in the pen
Ba, ba, black sheep off the streets
Whack, whack stocked against black Jack
Black hair, black beard
Pirate, attack black
Rat-a-tat, payback
Skin shine, melanin design, black Knight
Black Friday night
No bla bla
I see it in your eyes
Devoured by disguise
No bla bla
It’s in every move you make
It’s in every breath you take
I’ll play the same game
Hiding in your shadow
But you won’t know
What you downloaded
Was a Trojan horse
With no remorse
Femme fatale
I’ll camouflage
In your worst mirage
Payback time
My deserved treat
Revenge so sweet
