They choose their fate
By their choices
To be caring or no
I merely enforce it
Wish they'd do betta

That quiet moment
I questioned
Faith

With courtesy
Deity replied
"I believe in you"

Lifting the veil
Everything changed
That moment
I knew

To act with humility
is to be aware
that I am unomniscient and uncertain
so I need
to be on guard
against the unforseen
bad consequences
of my action.

The girl with many faces
While trying to embrace it
Took an unexpected turn
Looking for more to learn
Rough roads ahead
Even with the meds
Swerving left and right
Speeding into the night
A crash has yet to come
But the night is young
She tenses for the impact
Prepared she is to react
The hardest part is the time
It takes for events to unwind
Into something less abstract
But now the damage is contract

in a brief moment of silence
between the laughter and the violence
before my face was caught in brawl
after i said what i should not
right in the moment of misfortune
when i briefly felt tortured
right as i felt i was a *******
and then i collapsed down on my ***
in that moment of regret
why did i say what i have said
i should have thought about it first
and now my face got stamped with fists
but i guess we learn from our mistakes
attackers getting dragged away
im being asked if im okay
of course i am, it aint my first fist-crash
i shake it off and start acting like a ****** afresh
though his reaction was rather spastic
guess thats what i get for being actively sarcastic
about my inability to be serious and how i often come off as an ******* in conversations, leading to unfortunate outcomes. the pseudo-poem written in 8 minutes.

Isn't it illogical to expect apple fruits
After sowing orange seeds?
Isn't it easy to understand that
What you give is what you receive?

He wants a devout and loyal woman
Even though he sleeps around,
How does that sound?

He wants his kids to respect women
Even though in their very own eyes
He treats their mum like a punching bag

She wants a team of dedicated employees
Even though her attitude is of that
Who doesn't care even by a bit

Life has its way of mirroring
Or magnifying what you give
Which ultimately comes back  
to you as a harvest.
Some call it Karma, it is what it is!

Tar
The air turns to tar and my lung wretch out fear,
The earth quickens into quicksand and I'm swallowed,
I rot in fright in the deepest night just hoping someone hears,
This place of absence devours me until I'm truly hollowed,
Substance inside is flooded outside its formed within my tears,
Time may heal but even so the clock trails what's been followed.

Under the cover of darkness people try and get away with many things
and then they may suffer the consequences or scorn this activity brings.

a red liquid
flew as tears over your
cheeks
not because sadness or grief,
but caused by guilt
we won't let you forget what you've done
the blood of the innocent
keeps sticking on your body.
I feel so ****** up lately
