Bud
I hear her new hit and my past hits me like a mack truck.
I'm always falling into these ruts,
looking, searching, almost begging for reasons
Universe? Soul? God? Trauma?
Who made me like this?
I'm sick of this problem
Remembrance, rain dance, tears, karma
You're so embarrassing
"Go cry where no one's watching"
He said that to me and I stayed around him-
*****.
I isolated so hard, I tried to be forgotten
but deep down I just want to feel understood
like any other person
I want love and care,
Hurt me, choke me, leave marks where no one sees but me.
Just say you love me after;
I won't care if it aches.
I've already been in pain, irritated or feeling worthless
I haven't cared while caring so much
I'm sick of this problem
I want to blossom but it seems I'm a bud
The Purpose of our Life is Enlightenment
But we are all trapped in Achievement
We run a race trying to be an ace
Lost in this maze, we don't live with grace
And all we end up is with entertainment

What is Enlightenment, this Truth, do we know?
It is overcoming Ignorance within, a spark is lit, aglow
It is overcoming the lie that God lives in the sky
Going on a Quest, Realizing, 'Who am 'I''
And ultimately, being free from this show

Many of us ask the question, 'Why be Enlightened?'
To be Spiritually Awakened, we are frightened!
We live and die, we don't find out, 'Who am 'I'?'
We look at the sky and cry and ask, 'Why?'
And get caught in Roadblocks and don't get Awakened

What are the Roadblocks that lock the door?
There are many fetters, more and more
Ignorance and desires, the Ego and the Mind
Achievement and Attachment leave us far behind
Let us discover the Roadblocks, twenty-four

Ignorance is a Roadblock caused by the Mind
We can't see Enlightenment, we become blind!
We want Enlightenment but we are in doubt
We need to remove these, throw them out
When we clear these blocks, the Goal, we will find!

Desires make us burn, desires create greed
We don't get Enlightened, fulfilled in our need
We run after Achievement, seeking Success
We don't get Enlightened, we land up in a mess!
But when we clear the roadblocks, we find Happpiness!

What is Attachment? It is clinging
It is the cause of all suffering
All this is caused by the rascal, the Mind
**** the Mind or you will be dead, you'll find!
We must clear these Roadblocks for our Awakening

Enlighten the Ego that stands tall as a wall
We can't Awaken unless the Ego has a fall
The Body too blocks us with the senses, five
In desires and passions, we sink as we dive
To be Enlightened, we must remove Roadblocks, all

Then, relationships stop us, our own dear people
They create limitations, they make us feeble
In this Samsara, we are lost, we sink
The world makes us weak, we think and we blink!
We don't reach the peak, we are stopped at the steeple

Responsibilities limit us, yes, our worldly duty
It stops us from Enlightenment, the real beauty
With passion we live, we are caught in lust
We must remove this, it is a must
Otherwise, we'll suffer and not realize that we are Divinity

Many of us are caught in shame
Living in regret, we lose the game
We don't understand Maya, it's a Cosmic Illusion
Nothing is real, we are lost in the confusion
To clear all these Roadblocks, must be our aim

This world is a Leela, it's a Divine Show
We are just actors, we come and we go
We are afraid to be Awakened, we live with fear
We miss the Bliss, the cheer that is so near
Clearing the roadblocks, we must grow

Sometimes knowledge becomes a limitation
Too much of it, stops our Realization
We pray to God and believe in our Religion
But Religion can never lead to God-Realization
When will we be free from these and have Illumination?


Everything in Life is Karma, the Law of Action
We get trapped in our Action and Reaction
Instead of having Love and Longing for God
We get stuck and go far from our Lord
We must clear Roadblocks and reach our Destination

To be Enlightened, we need a Guru, a Master
Without a Guru, Life is a disaster!
Another Roadblock in our Life is our Priority
We seek the material world and lose our Tranquillity
If we remove these Roadblocks, we will get there faster

Many of us are unaware of Enlightenment
This becomes the Roadblock, we are stuck in Achievement
We have everything, then why be Enlightened?
This is a roadblock that stops us from being Awakened
What a pity, this is such an embarrassment

We have listed Roadblocks, twenty-four
What these do, they lock the door
We must clear them, one by one
Then, the war of Enlightenment will be won
Discover that Life is more than what we know

The Journey of Life is all about Enlightenment
It's not about achieving Success, living in Achievement
Unless the Roadblocks, we wipe out and clear
To attain God, we will not even get near
And we will miss living a Life of Fulfillment!

Some nights, she calls for me still. I listen for the luring hum of her temptress chant, her bewitching ballad, her siren song. “Let us bathe together again under the clever moon,” she sings. “Let us join hands once more and we shall stain the night with truth!” Lady Justice beckons me nearer, but I turn my eyes to the sun. Though my spirit yearns for the atonement in her touch, my heart no longer kneels to her carnal call. I thank her for her mischief and I kiss her vengeful lips for the last time. Farewell, my sweet Goddess of Divine Retribution! I close my eyes, and when I open them again, she is gone—  effervescent in the amaranthine midnight.
Adrasteia has multiple meanings in Greek mythology: Goddess of retribution and balance. Derived from the Greek word adrestos, meaning "not runaway", Adrasteia represented the inescapability of punishment. In later periods, she became associated with inevitable fate and was considered a twin-like figure to Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance.

This one is about letting nature take its course. Karma works best alone. She doesn’t need my help.
You are my weapon,
my avenger,
the one I unleash
on anyone, anywhere.

Anyone guilty
of my lack of effort,
my frustration,
or of not being kind.

I fire you
for the things I lose
or the ones I fail to overcome.

I keep you tied to my waist,
always loaded,
but never well secured.

I **** you,
like a revolver in my hand,
and pull the trigger
with reckless passion.

Some say, "Karma keeps accounts fair,"
While others claim, "Destiny plays unaware."
Yet somewhere, unseen eyes are watching,
Writing every deed, each action matching.

Some returned, for their names were misplaced,
Some paid a price, for past sins embraced.
Some walked through unknown lanes,
Tangled in fate’s unfinished chains.

a good friend once said to me, "even the walls can hear"
how figurative, right?
even I was curious at first what she meant by that
but later on, I realized that no matter how thick or thin a wall is
no matter how soundproofed it was or not
someone was really eyeing on you
listening to your inaudible pleas
watching your every move
She’s even faster than journalists
when it comes to delivering flash reports to her boss.
Twisting stories, baseless accusations with no truth or proof
maybe she has eyes built into her back
since she seems to see things I didn’t even know or do.
It's too many lies, look in my eyes, they know I'm the truth
It's too many, I don't know how to decipher which one is a lie or the truth
run me a mile, hit you up on the highway
smirk my humor, laugh all you want
karma never listens when you beg
karma never forgives, once it choses your fate
when karma hits you, you can't stop it
either you run away from it, still, it can trace you and shoot you in the head like a mad man
karma is the consequences of your actions.

Cupido ha decidido
jubilarse de mi vida.
Mis ganas de soñar
fueron su liquidez.
Me dejó en la quiebra,
-¡qué cabrón!-,
con una deuda por vencer
de falsas ilusiones,
mientras mis pagos pendientes
los audita el Karma.

Beneath the weight of the moment,
fractured seconds linger like echoes,
etched into the hollows of my mind.
Most things dissolve,
consumed by the hungry tides of forgetting,
but not this—
not the way you made me feel.

Small.
Insignificant.
The air stolen from my lungs
as life unraveled, thread by thread.
I lay there,
the world shrinking,
your gaze an avalanche,
your silence a knife.

It wasn’t the darkness that stayed—
it was the sharpness of being
discarded, diminished, erased.

I will not forget.
The universe has ways
of balancing its scales.
And when it does,
may you feel what I felt—
every fragment of it.

¿Será el Karma
quien juega conmigo,
o la estupidez humana
mostrando su esplendor?.

Ya no lo sé.
La respuesta da igual
si el sentimiento es el mismo.
