Pay It Forward

Some call it karma

Others see it as fate

The truth of the matter?

It's still up for debate

Our only option I'd say

We must examine all fact

Then decide for ourselves ...each ones impact

 

On one hand theres KARMA

some say it's a *****

Usually the opinion of the immoral ...those living selfishly rich

 

With FATE they believe each is destined at start

That everyones born into a roll

With no say in their part

 

Lets pretend for a moment that this theory is so

The impact id say... we already know

This leaves no purpose to give with no reward for sharing

It' s followers create a world that can exist without caring

 

Then theirs others, like myself, with a whole different view

We believe in doing unto others... as you'd have done to you

The rules by which we live enforces giving to get

And the feeling of helping is something we can never forget

Our destiny is determined by the path that we choose

A world without conscience is one destined to lose

And each time its paid foward the reward is so great...

Thats my argument at least on this long lasting debate
