Bora born
Cause greets effect _
A tattered life lays down where cruelty flows
Karma's backbleat bends the dream
of the child within still in sweet repose.
The shadow of death revisits the scene
times plus time will soon be undone
when the wicked roam where the past has been.
Those thoughts so vile seek the hideous one
gut wrenched pains make insane demands
lost in shadow of a dan tian's spent sun.
The bone pointed by his own bony hand
a withered mind discounts then fries
in a notion a life ends with the sand.
The anger so deep the inner child cries
"Protect me!" as the shadow moves
through diseased tissue corrupted by lies.
Self-inflicted false wealth, all things to prove
envy beguiles the hapless mind
no one should suffer such a death as you
in karma consumed by lost time.
