“Karma”


People act in different ways.  People can be nice.
Some people are very smart.  Others need advice.
Then there are people so mean,
pure hatred is all that’s seen.
Then there are the ones that give out and sacrafice.

I believe that giving help will give you good luck.
I can haul all of my nice deeds in a huge truck.
But my deeds never come back.
Happiness is what I lack.
I never get any help when my life gets stuck.

I still give and never take.  I am not greedy.
I give help for people’s sake.  I am not needy.
Even when my money’s down,
I still spread my wealth around.
But no one gives me a break.  No one will help me.

Tell me what I’m doing wrong.  Why are people cruel?
I should get help in return.  Boy, I am a fool.
I am in a “good deed” debt.
Not one soul has helped me yet.
With all this, I always follow the Karma rule.

I’m the nicest guy you’ll meet.  Some say I’m too nice.
When you need some help in life, I’ll give you advice.
I will help you all I can.
I’m the most generous man.
Everyone else doesn’t care.  No one cares I’m nice.

I look back at my good deeds.  Not one was worth it.
But I find a nasty deed.  What was wrong with it?
I made a female’s life hell.
How she felt, I cannot tell.
I should suffer for all time for that incident.

But that is the only deed that made me feel great.
It has helped me be strong in ways I can’t relate.
Now I am so undepressed.
My lonliness unsurpressed.
But with this bad incident, how do I feel great?

Now I see the Karma truth.  It is false and fake.
You should never give too much.  You should always take.
You can still give good advice.
Helping out is really nice.
Just make sure to help yourself first for your own sake.
