What goes around comes around
Consequence of acts...

for the clap
on the back

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!...

retribution for wrongs,
real or imagined;
ruthless drive for payback,
regardless of outcome;
rancor that supersedes
reason, overriding
rational, moral thoughts...

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?...

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!

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.

Aligning

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?

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,

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!...

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.

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...
