Karma
Untitled
by Benjamin Holden
They say when
your heart stops you die
Well my heart was ripped
out and I bled and bled
I still bleed years later
the scar never heals
I only feel pain. I may never
fill this hole in my chest
My quest may never end
because my heart is lost
Where ever it may
lie it still beats
It’s trapped in karma’s
glass box
Karma
by Lee Cagle
When I think about karma, I think about my life and where I’m at right now and where I could be. I think about all of the stupid and foolish things and choices I have made, I think about all of the “what ifs” in my life, and then I sigh, because I have so many! I think about all of the people I have hurt or done wrong in my life, and I wonder if this is the reason for all of my strife.
I wonder if I hadn’t done so much wrong, would I be here now? Would my brother still be alive if I had only been there? Would my family still be struggling with the bills? Would I still be in college, or would I already be done with college? But there I go again, thinking about the “what ifs” and “maybes” in my life.
Then I start to think about all of the people who I have helped out, influenced (and by that I mean in a good way), and been good to. I think about how I’ve been true to other people, but most importantly I’ve been true to myself. I think of all the times I’ve given money to people who needed it, and even to people who didn’t need it. I think of how many times I have given something without expecting anything in return. And even if I could change some of the things in my life, would it affect other things in my life, like would I have met my wife? Would I have my beautiful baby girl? If that’s the case then I wouldn’t change any of it.
So, with all of this stirring in my brain, I can’t help but ask, which outweighs the other? The good or the bad? Or, are they even? I guess there is no real way to tell. The only thing I can say is look at your surroundings and where you are at and the situations that you’re in, and you decide – is karma real or not?
Karma…
by Benjamin Holden
is God getting even with
the wrong of the Devil
or the Devil getting even
with God. Karma is the
scale to weigh negative and positive
judgments.
If I weigh myself on
karma I would still not
be even I only wish to
die karma won’t let me.
