karma returns to the boss
whomever you judged and how often
you looked away as one cried out,
again those criticized, held in focus,
were up for contempt or cast into doubt
ahead of their times,
with an essence of tao—
we've known it since then,
we still know it naow,
of course it'd be shocking to learn
respect was one perk you'd not earn
blessing:
one can do "well"
and still not do right.
on witness do tell,
salute, say good night
to dishonor.
amen.
