I see people
making merry at the expense of others
maiming others
for their pleasures
and getting off unscathed,
untouched by the divine power
or karma, as some call it.

I see people
struggling, breaking their backs off,
in the hope of making their lives better
waiting for sunny days
yet getting pushed into dungeons
each day getting only worse,
ignored by karma.

And I wonder
if there’s any such divine power
that keeps a count of our doings
or is it just a manmade solace
to pump us with a hope of
escaping the matrix someday.

I’d like to belive, this power exists,
but I’m often proven wrong
by what I see around me.

Life’s unfair for many,
and it takes a toll to deal with it
every day.
