Karma

KARMA
(1999)

Like a fox
you are cunning, you are slick
like a rock
you are indifferent
artistic Queen, you suck them in
to your web
of deceptive beauty
watch them tangle and draw their blood
it's all about your
egotistical glory
bat them around with kitten paws
as you dig in
your sharp claws
don't you know, what goes around comes around?
I'll step aside and let your karma knock you down
I've been through the repercussions
of my actions
and I found my place
when my pride was stripped away
I saw humility
I didn't understand
yet now I do
and in the mirror of my past
I see you.
don't you know, what goes around comes around?
I'll step aside and let your karma knock you down
a wise one once said
"those who live by the sword
will die by the sword"
don't you know, what goes around comes around?
I'll step aside and let your karma knock you down

Awesome... I know this girl. And I did exactly what you've elegantly suggested here and "stepped aside". Karma got her, and I would imagine it's not finished yet. Thanks for sharing this... great job!

Thanks a bunch!

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
