Karma
By Bruce Alan Marcom
[Pipe Organ]
In shadows dark of olden days,
A man of cruelty held sway,
His fists rained down on women fair,
Their cries ignored, their pain his fare.
One fateful eve, in drunken haze,
He grasped a vial of mystic glaze,
Mistook for ale this potion dire,
And drank it down with dark desire.
[Pipe Organ]
As dawn broke o'er the misty field,
The spell's true power was revealed,
Where once a brute had laid his head,
A woman fair now rose instead.
Naked and lost, confused and frail,
She stumbled through the dewy vale,
When suddenly, from woods nearby,
A band of rogues caught evil eye.
[Pipe Organ]
With leering grins and grasping hands,
They seized this beauty of the lands,
Her pleas ignored, her struggles vain,
She felt the sting of her own bane.
The pain she'd dealt now visited,
Upon her form, so delicate,
The lesson learned through agony,
Of empathy and sympathy.
So heed this tale of justice grim,
Where fate repays each violent whim,
For those who deal in pain and strife,
May find it mirrored in their life.
