Karma Now Poem by Francie Lynch

All along you've claimed
I'm wrong,
You've preached Karma's
A true force
For life.
Then you're the one,
There's no mistake,
With Karma
You re-
Incarnate.
Your next life
Is rightly rife
With all you
Thought was missing:
Eyes now green, or blue or two;
Nose is small, or straight and hay fever free;
Your clothes are cool, ripped and fitting;
You'll have it all.
Friends to rely on;
Family to depend on.
Money is no problem now,
Your weight is couture right;
Your teeth are straight and yours;
Your hair has sheen, body, curl;
It's straight and colour fast;
Your skin is clear and white, black, brown, or rainbow;
Your mind is bright and not yet full.
This time round
Parents are happy
With whom they've found.
And your education
Has opened doors
Of possibilities to explore;
And depression is no more.
Your outlook looks sure.

But you're not into that.
Vanity is no reward;
Clearly that would be insanity,
Our life's worth so much more.

With Karma,
There's no debate,
It's outcomes choose
Unknown dates
And rules.
Yes, we reap
What we sow;
Weeded chances
Wither slow.

One can't recall
Previous lessons
From former lives
With past life
Regression.
Just live your life
In truth and justice,
In the light,
Avoid the darkness;
For Karma will echo back
With a knife-like strike
To reverse good fortune
In your afterlife;
In your next life,
In your present life.


Still, I think,
You're hedging bets,
Karma's not
Been proven... yet.
But just in case
You might be right,
I'll live life well
And enjoy
This life.
