i swallow

By mysticventures



the taste

is bittersweet

in my mouth



but does the fruit of my labor

truly justify

the flavor?



does the end

truly justify

the means?
.
.
.
.

if Einstein

was

correct



and if Jesus

spoke

the truth



and if the Buddha

was

enlightened
.
.
.
.

then Karma

truly is

good medicine

    Nice write to stimuate poets. Karma doesn't come back to you. It is presented to you by yourself.

  • A former member wrote: Karma, as far as im concerned is like pride... You either do do much, or to little, either way, somehow your pride is effected.
