::::::::
I Hate
And it extends
Up the root
Around the tree
Down the vines
And through the leaves
---It extends
Right back to me
Karma is
An angry leaf
Never to green
Filled with grief
Fallen to ground
And the till goes 'round
---No point
In ever hating then
For it
Will always lead
Forever and ever
Past the tree
Down the vine
And right back to me
---Or so I choose
To believe
