Karma is a Spider

A Spider that spins cotton candy gets stuck in
her own sticky web. The squirrel that hoarded all the nuts
in autumn soon forgets where he buried them when the ground
is covered by winter’s white blanket. A sheep that turns his back

on his own flock gets lost in the woods and runs into
a wolf that’s up to mischief. They never did find the wandering sheep who was eaten up by his own freedom. But they saw
a smiling wolf, looking content as usual the next

morning. Karma is a spider caught in her own web. It’s a
hoarding squirrel that soon forgets when the ground looks different. It’s an unscrupulous sheep that meets his end by something more undaunted and cunning than him.
