In swift retribution, Karma finds her prey,
Striking with a force, you can’t keep at bay,
Gather your senses, for time does not wait,
Soon you’ll face your fate, it’s not up for debate.
What misguided thoughts swirl within your mind,
Mocking love’s essence, so callously unkind?
What purpose drives you, to such heartless rue?
The choice lies with you, and you alone, it’s true.
Karma’s gaze, unyielding, upon you will land,
Meet her eyes, bravely, take her by the hand,
Embrace your humanity, join the earthly dance,
In unity, we stand, a single, shared chance.
Why do we wander this world, so lost and blind?
Laughing at wisdom, our hearts left behind,
Who do you claim to be, in your shining guise?
A celestial being, or just full of lies?
Together, we gleam, like the stars up high,
In the vast expanse of the moonlit sky,
Every soul, a beacon, in the darkness, so vast,
Come, join our light, make the moment last.
Karma’s blow strikes true, shakes you to the core,
See your fellow beings, recognize them more,
In each face, a brother, in every eye, a friend,
Our shared humanity, on it, we depend.
Why do we exist, in this world so wide?
Not in anguish, nor fear, but to walk with pride,
Why, then, do you falter, when life’s everywhere?
Claim your rightful place, in this grand affair.
We shine together, like the stars above,
A symphony of light, an endless, boundless love,
Onward we go, in this cosmic, endless run,
Shining bright, like the moon, like the stars, like the sun.
Yes, we all shine on, in the night’s soft gleam,
In the sun’s golden rays, in a shared, waking dream,
We illuminate the heavens, from dusk till dawn,
In unity we glow, on and on and on.
