Why are people cold?
Why do they turn heartless?
Questions frequently asked,
Yet no one has the answers.
Oblivious to the obvious,
The truth laughs and taunts us
What goes around comes around,
Just as Sister Karma taught us.

So why doesn’t it click
When your actions come to bite you?
This solipsism in your metabolism,
Blinded by selfish desires.
The “thank you” you didn’t say,
The “please” you swallowed down,
The smile you wouldn’t give,
Or that unforgiving frown.

You gave your words the power to slay,
Yet walked around with no remorse.
You left behind a trail of malice
Without a stutter or a pause
Until your actions begat a hellion,
Happy to return the favor.

The evil you did has now evolved,
Watch it live after you.
That ball you threw at the wall
Now bounces back with more vigor.
This is why people are cold
Because your emotions went rogue,
Turning an angel into a picaro.

Is it too much to cherish
When the next person is kind?
We are the reason this world will perish
Before we even begin to relish it.
We changed the meaning of a fool
And mocked the easily forgiving.
May I not live to see the day
When the good in this world comes to an end,
And the wicked freely have a say.
