Our Wind-Up Karmic Dolls Poem by Chuy Amante

Life is about playing,
a grand play in fact!
Who is the writer,
the director,
who will act?

Do you really think
that you are in charge?
Perhaps you are here
with a debt to dis-charge.

You wound up YOUR doll
some time ago,
You pulled the string
a few years back,
and then let it go!

It has direction and motion,
it's on the move,
but do you direct it,
or is it in a groove?

Till you've paid the last payment
on previous debt,
you'll act out scenes of pain,
you can bet.

Scenes of fun and games
can be what you've got,
if previous kind payments,
were your lot.

When all is paid,
your account up to date,
that is when you take over
and control your fate!

Your wind-up doll's spring
will lose its tension,
and then life gets fun,
being a current invention!

You'll be free to roam
and free to play,
live as you choose,
each fine day.
