Karma

A cafe named karma around the corner of your life angles,

No menu for dark desires, no choice on the handle.

No matter how deep you bury your sins, or the demons you preserve,

Be ready for the surprise platter - you will be served what you deserve.

Get to know the ways of karma and the song it sings,

It hits like boomerang with a lethal swing.

Do not hinder the fate of others with your toxic minds,

Karma will chase you till the doom, with no message and signs.

Karma is a lesson where vengeance does not count,

It is the final jury's verdict, to close your life's illegal accounts.

Whenever you are wronged, just put your mind and soul to rest,

Carefully move along with your life - karma will do what is best.

Do not decide fate for others, through your sinful actions,

Karma is right behind chasing with justice in perfection.

Do not add misery, or make a helpless heart burn,

Karma will slap you right across when it is your turn.

Your unkind heart lies on karma's dart, your dark soul on its sharp blade,

Get ready to face it's ruthless fury, with no mercy or aid.

Hear the whispers of karma - a warning for your awful deeds,

It will slash the sprouts on your sinful fields where you sowed rotten seeds.

Wait, pause, and think before calling karma a "Bitch",

But fear the day when it will keep you on its ruthless leash.
