KARMA

a villager's
family starves
because he could not
pay a debt of $14
two weeks ago
he hung himself
from a tree

such a small amount
i hear you thinking
any decent person
would have given him that
Correct
they didn't

childen with deformed limbs
drooling vomiting
lie under shop counters
in rags
while fat generals dine
from gold encrusted plates

i see the early signs of
small pox on a truck driver
in the traffic
and nervously cover my mouth

no hatred in these people
people who live daily under the threat
of terrorist bombings

people who are worth sacrificing for
people who smile and make connections
of grace and love

people who value their culture and religion
in a never ending battle to preserve it
people who have nothing and share freely

people who are not self indulgent wimps
people who are smart and trust and hope
that their God will win the day for them
with help from others(the enlightened ones)

So...

To
the comfortably clad London rioters
who don't know what hunger disease
poverty tyranny and genocide is

To
their supporters

To
the obscene fat cat corrupt capitalist overlords
who run the show

Get Fucked

And
May your karma be with you
FOREVER and ALWAYS
