Circumstance
What did you believe
Would happen in your life
When your words deceive
Hurting others like a knife
Did you not stop and think
All the hatred that you speak
Could push them to the brink
Your preying on the weak
But all these things you say
And the bridges that you burn
Will find some subtle way
Back to you they will return
For we must pay the price
For all the things we do
And if you cannot be nice
I hope the best for you
If bad things on you beset
This is not a thing of chance
It is your lack of real regret
Coming back in circumstance
Yes, what goes around comes back around or something like that , they call it karma lol you write great stuff , always.
Thank you Yassy! Karma is a core belief for me and is responsible for dealing with the negativity others put into the world. Saves me a lot of frustration and angst.
You are welcome, Brad.
But sometimes one is at the receiving end of a lot of bad things even if one is innocent. What do you say about that ? Life is like that , I guess.
I would say that there is little in the way of innocence when you are an adult. Although we may not see things we have done negatively in our recent past to warrant the troubles that beset us, karma is not instantaneous. Sometimes we are paying for old wrongs that we have long forgotten.
my motto is always be nice to people and never judge them. I liked the message of this poem greatly affected by it!
Thank you so kindly Khadija! I means a great deal to know that my words have touched another person in some profound way.
You’re very welcome!
Very well said!!
Thank you, Kristian!
as you so clearly illustrate, words can be powerful. and so can karma.
So true, Jim! Thank goodness karma works both ways!
