Retribution Poem by Kim Hilliker

Sorrow, suffering and karma are
How life's lessons are learned
And through them in the end,
For the better our lives are turned

And though during retribution,
We don't understand the pain
Each and everyone of us
Get through it all the same

So when your life turns upside down,
And your very being is confused
Look at the laws of karma and
See how they are used

It may not be a pretty picture
That in which you see,
But bravely face the truth
Of your self-imposed reality

No, it's not always easy
To keep on keeping on,
But somehow, someway
Right must be made out of wrong

And when it's finally over and
In retrospect, you look-
You'll be forever grateful
For the lessons you mistook
