If: Karma Knocking Poem by Paula Glynn

If you eat those sweets,
Your teeth will become rotten and black.

If you eat that food,
You'll become wobbly and fat.

If you show your fear,
You're branded a fool.

If you beat and hurt others,
You're considered cool,

For that person is just a fool,
But the devil's trick of the light,
A world made of stone,
Leaves you to take up the fight,
Where you yearn to find your way home.

Always safe: unless you break the rules,
People to react like bullies in a school,
Playing the game,
Your mind lost,
And your crimes shall cost,
Blood on your hands,
Where you have not seen the master plan.

If pride is shown,
You have to prove yourself,
For you have to pass that test,
And when you're grown,
You have to be on your guard:
Be your best,

Trick of the light,
Stone in your eyes,
Karma knocking to destroy my life,

Do I pass the test?
How do I play their games?
How do I show I am the same?
How do I prove I am not a fool?
How do I impress people?
How do I look cool?
How do I hide my pride?
How do I have emotions and hide?
Who is better than me?

I hope I find all the answers,
For karma has come knocking.
