Karma & Consequences (Poem)

Too many people

Go about their day

Never thinking that

Somewhere along the way

They're going to have to answer

For the things that they have done

All they ever care about

Is little ole' number one

They think that there won't be

Consequences to pay

They do whatever they want

Each and every day

They figure they'll just lie

Or perhaps blame someone else

But when it comes down to it

They can only blame theirself

'Cause everyone else will know

The truth as it really is

They won't believe the lies

And they probably won't forgive

And why should someone be forgiven

When they won't apologize?

Forgiveness can only come

When they finally stop telling lies

When they face up to their mistakes

And admit that they did wrong

Then, and only then, can they finally move on

For Karma is a funny thing

As "it" never forgets

And "it" will keep things from going right

Until you finally have regrets

When you finally make things right

Then Karma will make things right for you

That is why it just makes more sense

To do what you're supposed to do

You need to think of the consequences

For each thing that you do

And when you don't bother to think ahead

Then when things go wrong, you can only blame you!
