An Unlucky Break

 

Karma says he’ll somehow get you

For every little prank you pull

Karma says he’s watching, waiting

To knock you down a peg or two

 

He will get even for your wrong doings

And praise you for your good deeds done

Karma’s standing, ever patient

Anywhere you try to run

 

But lately he’s been on my case

For evils I wouldn’t dare commit

And lately he’s been cashing checks

On dirty deeds I did not submit

 

For I try to be a decent person

Karma & I were once good friends

Could it be he’s merely testing?

And I’ll be thankful in the end?

 

Karma, old friend, and ever-wise one,

What did I do to wrong you so?

Will this tide of pure misfortune

Ever cease its determined flow?
