Behind everything

Behind the heavy laden donkey,
donkey to bear the brunt of
man’s wear, wear and tear,
behind the uploaded load,
there is karma;

Behind the cat’s surreptious, silent
preying upon the mouse, behind
the cunning paw, the cat being chased
to being drowned in the well,
there is karma ;

Behind those innocent eyes
with devouring ambition,
ambition negatively enthralling you,
cutting passion for possession
there is karma;

Behind the wheels of those
broken chair, bearing the
broken people, the mechanical
wheels still wheeling around
there is still karma.

Her bent feet, paralysed,
Steadied in the sands of
the long beaches ,may be
the sands of Time’s healing,
this is Kama’s will;

Karma is still, not vociferous,
Still, karma is here.
