Dear Karma, where are you?
I think you’ve missed some people,
Allow me to name a few.

I hope you don’t mind,
I made a list for you.
In case you got behind,
Here’s more people, too.

I don’t think you recognize
The people you have missed.
For all the people who told lies
Are right here on this list.

Everyone who is fake,
Anyone who steals.
Please, go ahead and take
Them without appeals.

Dear Karma, I think you’re lost.
Do you need any aid?
Because I’ve been double crossed,
I have been betrayed.

So here is a list if you want,
A list of those dismissed.
People who constantly taunt
Are right here on this list.

Please do not forgive.
Please do not release.
In this life that we all live,
They don’t require reprieve.

Please give them what they deserve,
Karma, if you will.
Please throw them a curve.
Fear you can instill.

Dear Karma, please check off these names.
The list is full of crimes.
Their reputation in flames.
They deserve this all the time!

Dear Karma, please do this for me.
For whenever I require,
That night, it’s you I see.
“Why not them?” I inquire.

For they have done wrong, and as you do see,
The people you are looking for surely is not me.
So here you are, a copy of my list.
I think you fell behind, for these people you have missed.

Dear persistent child, I’m afraid you are mistaken.
These people I have not missed, they’re on the verge of breakin’!
So never fear my dear, I know they have done wrong.
I promise that their happiness shall not last much too long!

You see, I know you think they’re happy, with hearts filled with pride.
The truth is they are decaying, slowly, emotionally inside.
So hold on to that hope, their time will surely come.
Are you kidding me? Do you really think I’m dumb?

I’ve seen all the drama and witnessed every tear.
I’ve seen all the cruelty, I’ve witnessed all the fear.
When you believe that there’s someone I’ve missed,
Remember that they’re highlighted on my personal list!
