To Each Their Own

Life has a way of righting injustices
no matter how long it may seem to take
although for some it may seem otherwise
just sit back and wait, Karma sorts it

Time and again, people experienced this
even with people that have never met
Karma looks after those who cause upset
returning what is done unjustly tenfold

Yet for those who retaliate it rebounds
a high price has to be paid by sinners
who are caught this way, Karma sees all
knows all, there is no place to hide away

You may scoff, think no it's not true
but just as the piper pays the price
so do those who wish evil on others
some say it was fate, some say it's god

believe what you like as you pass on
everything goes in circles that turn
like the sun with all its satellites
at day's end, it's each to their own

I like your write Kathy

karma can hit when least expected, if one uses Karma as the word, until an honest pathway is offered to one that may have "bad karma" they will see that what ever woe betides them, just maybe it was just a wrong way to turn.

Always good to give good.

Hi, shadow1950,
Life could be much simpler through belief in Karma, knowing that Life has a way of righting injustices. There would be no need for individuals to seek personal justice or revenge. However, when bad things happen to "good" people and good things happen to "bad", it's hard to put those events in the context of Karma. Guess one just has to be patient to allow time to set things right. Thanks for sharing this thought-provoking write.

Good ol Karma. I prefer good Karma. I enjoyed your poem. And the devil in me likes to think that if someone purposely hurts another in life there will be Karma waiting for its time devil
