Riding Karma

people believe not
in truth

but in what they wish
were the truth

the great
karmic wheel rolls

prospects
may not be very bright

but there’s no
turning back now

the great
karmic wheel rolls

the present
is given shape

by accumulation
of the past

the great
karmic wheel rolls

if we could
turn back would

we end up
where we started

if we give ourselves over
to madness

or prejudice
here and now

even if it destroys us
what do we have to lose

the great
karmic wheel rolls

killing every living
thing in its path
