I believe in a karmic world
Negative thoughts and deeds
beget more negativity
and this cause and effect
can balloon into a storm
A storm that can overwhelm  
all reason
Where sitting in a dark corner
of a room
is preferable to the light

His little girl
is no longer
She poses with a pitchfork now
Flanked by her husband and child
she sports the face of a P.O.W.
No longer in need of her father
and that’s the way it should be
He just wished she looked happier
A smile would be nice to see
Maybe it’s not what it looks like
Maybe she doesn’t want to be free
Maybe she loves
the life she has made
But, he thinks she just wants to flee

Stuck in patterns
that are damning to repeat
because vows to do better
don’t last
How does one be
who one wants to be
without healing
from an imperfect past?

Along with creating our own
personal philosophical views of life
comes the distinct possibility that we will become disillusioned by them
Because, if we had some answers,
we wouldn’t have so many **** questions

Eat when you are hungry
and when you’re tired sleep
Stop all the questioning
Life isn’t all that deep

Wise man say: “There are too many ways to look the fool without
arguing with one.”

Careful now
make not a mistake
It’s only your hide
the skinner wants to take
Ready to pounce
it won’t think twice
to be all over you
like white on rice
