Karma Comes Swiftly

All night you wander

All day you die

Ever stop to wonder why?

You never wondered about

the lightning that had no thunder?

Perhaps you neglected to hear

or even listen that day

You saw but refused to witness 

and in that way

You’re not a victim

but a menace’s wingman

Helped facilitate his game plan

So what then of your Soul’s Ambition?

Guess it’s in remission

That you failed to speak,

don’t mean I wasn’t  listenin'

I hear words unspoken,

You and your soul’s contract broken

The notions you tryin to hold in 

I feel them

What you call metaphor,

I feel physically

Most literally

The more you try to hide

The more apparent it is to see

Your withholdings beholden to me

What you hold most guarded

I see most clearly, quite easily

  Take me, I promise you, you’ll regret it

Hell hath no furry

Irony lives here within me

Since the day you released me

From that moment forth

I’m here to claim every drop

of your soul’s worth

The box is Pandora’s 

but Karma’s inside

Hide your kids, hide your wife

but it’s pointless

why try?

She’s coming for each of us

and she’s taking her time

She’s pulling your number

and changing the tide

The pide piper is callin'

All your children are followin’

I hope your soul’s are safe from the truth

Cuz Karma don’t give a fuck what it do

The fabric of time is holding on by a thread

Killin time, losin’ my mind and religion

What are you doin now?

Traversing a different dimension 

Chokin’ but I’m smokin’

so it’s cool

An uninformed critic is a tool

All those that eat his shit

are willing fools

even if unwitting

you lose a game you didn’t know you were playin

just sayin

cuz you convinced yourself all them old wives tales were lies

Oh well, don’t make hell no less dark if you close your fuckin eyes

That fear won’t leave you

no matter what color tears you cry

know why?

Cuz she ain’t coming for tears

she’s coming for blood

and she’s taking her share form everyone

but not all at once

No, she has something in particular she wants from

each and every one of us

You know that ambition I mentioned?

Your soul’s reason for livin’

The one you’ve been pretending doesn’t even exist..

See, it’s real no matter how cleverly you deny it..

Shhh..

No more words

It’s time to be quiet 

and let Karma get her little game started

Don’t give yourself more passes than you give anyone else

Don’t withhold clues

Be fair

Don’t create change that benefits only you or a mere few

Be honest

The truth will find you
