The Karma SmorgasbordA Poem by CaroleIt ALL comes out in the WASH...WE WILL REAP BOUNTIFULLY FROM WHAT WE SOW, be it good or bad. It's not something we like to think about, but it is the unadulterated TRUTH.
The Karma Smorgasbord Come one, come all, and join the feast Prepare yourselves for a delectable treat What you partake in is your predilection Your smorgasbord is your selective discretion What goes up must come down What we dish out will come back around It’s all up to us what we will eat Will it be acidulated or will it be sweet?
I’ve lived long enough to have learned a few ropes Been on sundry sides of the slope
If you dish out kindness, you procure the same
If you dish out ugliness, make way for the pain Slander and careless inculpation’s carry a heavy weight As we do what we wish & follow our fate Determining this day to whom we will bow Making a choice and emulating our crowd
A price will be paid for hostile malevolence While a blessing accompanies those who choose to esteem & respect
A multifarious smorgasbord lavished as we wish
A rancid casserole or a titillating dish
Just taking a synopsis of those who freely accuse Lofty lovers of gossip, slander, and abuse
The index finger barbed & pointed with pithy insistence undue
Quickly differentiating the guilty from the tried and true
Those that are innocent have nothing to hide They relax in quietude and calmly abide
Filled with infinite harmony & copious peace
They recline at their spread of an elaborate feast
Of buoyant laughter, joy, and incredulous tranquility Unruffled & undisturbed with exemplary placidity Happy-go-lucky and free from guilt and shame They don’t have to “Do Drama” and play the game The school of hard knocks is taking applications We can choose freely our part of the equation
So, let’s get our hammers and delineate palisades
Uncover the charlatan, the fraudulent & the fakes We can speak what we will and do what we please Then lift our hands toward heaven and get ready to receive
Our myriad of choices is as diverse as the sea
We each hold the answer-We each hold the key Come one, come all, and join the feast
Prepare yourselves for a delectable treat
What you partake in is your predilection
Your smorgasbord is your selective discretion
What goes up must come down What we dish out will come back around
It’s all up to us what we will eat
Will it be acidulated or will it be sweet? © 2009 CaroleFeatured Review
