Sow new seeds and better still sacrifice with selfless service. Karma gives fruits according to action and this law exists in this universe. Truth is truth always. Finishing tax returns of course. You have brilliantly penned this excellent poem...10
Marvelous poem flowing with creative ink and sweet rhythm! Yes all that is given to us from Providence we take without gratitude or a thought as to how we can repay it.
Thanks for appreciating the poem. As to its 'sweet rhythm', perhaps it is partly due to the anapaest meter, which I like the best. This poem was there as 'Karmic Tax' as I said in Poet's Note, for long with only one feedback for so many years.

Sow new seeds, better still sacrifice, Else, loaded shall get thine Karmic dice, Sacrifice is self-paid advance tax, Pay up ere deadlines tax you the max........I m now penitent. The dream made me penitent. a wonderful poem my dear Aniruddha....... i liked it so much. come stanzas are really nice. makes me think a lot. A God of love calls through dreams? ? ? tony
Thanks, I was hesitant to delete the old version, Karmic Tax, because of your feedback there. Now I'll do it.
