How to Reverse Instant Karma

In the world today, all you need to make

A nice big pot of Instant karma, with a new and improved recipe

Is to spin around really fast, and act like a jackass,

spouting hatred and violence, making every one of those seconds last

as you blast your fellow humans, stab them all in the back,

as you tear everyone to shreds; pretty soon it’s gonna hit you,

Just like John Lennon said.

To reverse this terrible fate,

here’s what you should do, mate:

Sing “we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun”

three times, with equal parts passion, strength, and truth.

While spinning in a circle, click your heels together three times,

admit your faults and replace your hate with acceptance

of your brothers and sisters, for the world cannot go on,

with so much anger, because sooner or later,

“instant karma’s gonna hit you”, and you know John was right,

That we really shouldn’t fight;

that we “all shine on”,

“we all shine on”.
