The Law That Waits

Karma is real

The Law That Waits

I have seen lies,

crawl through rooms,

smiling like friends,

waiting to strike.

I have watched hands,

hide their guilt,

pretending the world

will never see.

But karma moves,

quiet and slow,

finding the cracks

people think are safe.

It listens well,

to poisoned words,

to secret plans,

to twisted joy.

And when it comes,

it does not knock,

it simply stands

where you once stood.

So tread with care,

the world records

every choice

you think is hidden.
