Karma

What goes around comes around

You reap what you sow. What goes around comes around.

Stiff upper lip. Circling the ground with one foot out.

A line drawn in the sand to show the line you crossed

Are you ready to pay the cost of your vanity deeds?

Breathless at what doubled down and back where calamity breeds.

Oh no. Is this it? Am I a charmer for the karma which seeks me out?

Never thought it would find its way back to me actually.

I planted the seed and now it’s growing and coming of age.

The bigger person you thought you were is in for a world of rage.

Dishonor before death. Karma always comes back heavy moving steady…

Be ready…
