The Trail to Karma
On the way to the future
Took a trip back to the past
Can't escape the fact
A bridge was burned that now cannot be passed
Karma is now having the last laugh
The walls are talking putting a human's nature on blast
Could have gotten away with it
But life's unwilling to give a free pass
Walking down a lonely trail
Trying to figure out what went wrong
Seeking forgiveness
But the trouble is still not gone
Got a mouth full of pride
But a soul filled with regret
Guilt is the only topic left to address
Ready or not here it comes
The bad you did unto others has now returned
So it's time to pay its debt in full

- Do Unto OthersWondering aloud why it is we so often and easily focus solely upon the wrong-doer rather than those directly affected? Seems our collective prioritization is misguided.
- Profanity and Kids: How Do Parents Explain?One way to explain profanity to kids is to say that kids shouldn't do adult things. A better way is to make sure we don't cuss in front of them.

I like your poems. Very creative!
I love this!
Love the mouth filled with pride, and soul filled with regret. Very well written!!
I liked that very much, altho obviously that is not YOU walking down the trail, lol ......... ~~~ mike ~~~
Yes. The way it works. Very well stated! We must live an examined life to learn the lessons provided. Sometimes we must swallow the bitter and confess unto ourselves. Thank you for this beautiful poem.
Lovely and with good insight :) Sheri
So true. I can only hope that my debts are paid already. I hate collection agencies.
Often good things happen to bad people and bad things to good people. It is best to try and keep your conscious clear for this exact reason
KARMA!
Nice!
This piece is just wonderful!
