karma

have you ever thought....


that maybe karma is a person?
a wickedly clever imp,
green as Medusa's serpent hair,
with wise and daring eyes
that watch

everything unfold.

he is the catalyst of revenge
but not revenge birthed from human mind
but the revenge of the very universe itself.

invisible to human eyes, he creeps and stalks
hiding in the crevices of the room
waiting for the opportunity
to strike
to claim the cosmos' redemption
to be the servant of revenge for everything

perhaps that is why any bad thing happens
the mischievous elf of mayhem
no one is perfect
no action goes unnoticed
he is watching at all times...

but then again.
what if karma,
is nothing but a mental trick
a seed planted in the mind
an excuse, a reason
a psychological mechanism to blame the universe.
but not yourself.

the poor universe, a perfect scapegoat.

so watch out, whether by accident, mentally or magically
if you commit any sin, whether purposefully, or not.

the little olive dwarf...
might just crawl out of your ear
and pay you a visit.
