Blossoming Karma


Karma starts as a neutral seed;

keeping hidden;

how hateful she can be;

you must water her;

extremely carefully;

 

If watered with hate;

she can be a real snake;

If watered with love;

she can be a dove;

 

She's floated to the surface;

where she dwells on your dirt;

she knows all your secrets;

get ready to be hurt;

 

But if you watered lovingly;

she won't sit there and lurk;

just carry on and wait for it;

Cause' Karma's back at work;

 

Beautiful yet venomous;

but not to the touch;

no one understands;

how Karma remains so lush;
