Karma Wheel

By Indi Riverflow | May 9, 2012

There are many rides in this carnival
Roller coasters in perpetual festival
Dark houses haunted by greed and guilt
Parades of giant rulers stalking on stilts
Dunk tanks where someone soaks when you win
Pirate planks where you walk off your sin
And halls of mirrors where you talk to your twin

We’ll be whizzing by at the speed of why
In the land that lies beyond the lie
I’ll try on a new view of you for size
Borrowing everyone else’s eyes
Karma’s just an abstraction
Until you see it in action

{Chorus}
It can be so hard to see the me in you
On the other end of what we do
It’s never real until you feel
The flip side of the Karma Wheel

To those that fed my hunger a meal
To all the petty tyrants and real big deals
To all the hustlers hunting souls to steal
The drones who called my dreams unreal
And teachers who gave me the tools to heal
I’ll see you all on the Karma Wheel

The boomerang comes ’round again
Circling to hit the hand hate bends
Sooner or later we face familiar stares
In the carnival of contrast and compare
Fair play makes for a merry go-around
Glares shot at mirrors are bound to rebound
We all must swim in the sea of our sounds

{Chorus}
