Karma of the Hindu

Karma is the law of cause and effect,
The third law of Newton in operation.
Every action has a reaction
But Karma is a little more than that.

Like deeds, one’s thoughts too have repercussions.
The effects cause subsequent reactions
That form a chin wherein one would be caught.
The one will get back what one has thrown.

If the theory is true or not, I don’t know.
It lends harmony, builds ethics and pride
And installs shame as a powerful weapon.
Fear Karma if not the god at least.

Summer Chance

The chances of summer are of chance,
When you take a chance,
Chances will bring,
The good,
The bad,
The indifference,
The outcome,
For taking a chance,
Is what is left,
Then is left to per chance,

Yet,
Summer time,
Brings all kinds of chances,
Summer romances,
Summer time ventures,
All in all it is a time,
For taking the time,
To just relax,
And simply just,

Dont Stand Another Chance

Standin at the edge of time bout to lose my mind
cause you try to take him away from me, I wont let it be
You just walk into my life and try to take away my only prize
But you better give credit cause his love is right here for me
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
He belongs to me, just wait and see
Take him in my arms, give him love, not too much of me
Nothin you can do or say to make him look your way
So you better give credit cause its gonna come walking my way
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance (ohh)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
You dont stand another chance
Sit and wait at home bout to leave me alone (I know baby)
Youll be with him when hes up, not down, to keep him on the ground
Let me tell you something, its true, hes not in love with you

One More Chance

If I could only relive yesterday
I think I'd try to do it right
If I had one more chance to be with you
I think it just might save my life
Chorus:
Just one more chance
And I will be your love forever
One more chance, one more chance
Just one more chance
And I will be your love forever
One more chance, one more chance
I'm caught it the same old world
And I just can't get my head unwhirled
And I'm looking for any old place to hide
I took a journey down thru paradise
I think I'd like to make it twice
I took another journey yesterday
I hope it just won't ruin my life
Chorus:
Just one more chance

Lets All Make A Bomb

And as the low aggress the high
All you can do is sit and cry
Youve only got yourself to blame
Dont try to stop me its too late
My minds made up, this job wont wait
Theres nothing left for me to say
Hey! theres no need to debate
Its time to designate your fate
Take the m out of m.a.d.
Lets all make a bomb
Take one hundred scientists or more
Place in a room and lock the door
Let them confer for half their lives
Unlock the door, go in and see
What they have made for you and me
A brand new toy to idolize
Hey! theres no need to debate
Its time to designate your fate
Take the m out of m.a.d.
Lets all make a bomb

Take A Chance

(foster/lukather/newton-john)
Could it be were the perfect pair?
Have it all if wed only dare
I have dreamed of a night like this
Maybe you will end my loneliness
Meeting you was a dangerous thing
Cant control what is happening
Stood my ground, didnt run away
Trying hard to hide that Im so afraid
Take a chance, take a chance
Shall I take another chance on love?
Take a chance, take a chance
Shall I take another chance on love?
When it feels so right
That Im safe and warm inside
Take a chance and fall tonight
Guess my hearts on the borderline
Couldnt stand it not to work this time
Its hard to fight when it feels so good
If theres something, dont you think that we should

Late For Fate.

Is it to late to change destiny and fate?
To change the route that my life does take?
Or is it all a predefined trip with no exceptions or excursions,
No room for extras fate's running it like a tight ship.

But what if i wised up an got a bit clever
A little smart an found away to give old fate the slip one day
Sneak off, vanish, fade away from my life's fate thats set in it's way

To re-define what was ment to always be pre-defined
To create a new destiny from inside my mind
A destiny a trip thats made of my own design
A life free from fate A LIFE THAT TRULY MINE.

Mystery, Fate And Love

All my life I'm waiting for you
Mystery, fate and love...
To pray for you, but you, MERAHEF...
Far away... NE'ELAM
Oh, mystery, fate and love
Mystery, fate and love...
My Lord, my Lord, give me a chance,
Give me a hand to hold on to,
Give me a chance, give me a hand
To hold on to...
Oh, mystery, fate and love.
All alone, all alone
BE'EMUNA UBIT'FILAM TEFILAH HO
But you MERAHEF, far away NE'ELAM
Oh, mystery, fate and love
Mystery, fate and love...
My Lord, my Lord, give me a chance,
Give me a hand to hold on to,
Give me a chance, give me a hand
To hold on to...

Destiny

Flirt with me today
and you may lust for my tomorrows.
Seek the fate I have in store for you
And you may have not time for borrow.

Destiny has it written
Written down in every page well.
It is the fate we all must spend in life
Destiny has you under its destined spell.

Some may make it to the top
Then some not even to take a step.
But whatever you think you all deserve
It is but destiny in this life you'll get!

Some may seem to die before their time
Then others you wonder why they've not?
You see that is just their destiny
And it is all of what they'd got.

A Single Flower

I believe that all things that occur were destined to happen because all things possess its own karma like the flower in this poem.

A pink lily recently plucked
Lays on a sun baked beaten path
All alone in the morning sun
Its destiny fulfilled and won.
Its progeny from eons past
With one sole purpose foreordained
To bloom a day and then be plucked
And given to someone in love.
The karma saved within the seed
Will guarantee its destiny.
The lovers kiss and wish upon
This pinkish hue phenomena.
The flowers charm had won the day
And then it's gently cast away.

Karma spayment

Uh-oh down low
I am not who I want to be
I probably will not ever be
I drove my car june 14th
I drove it right down the street
I had not had any sleep
So I ate minithins to stay awake
You crashed your car right into me
There was two days I didnt sleep
Uh-oh downlow
I am not who I want to be
I probably will not ever be
I took a trip down to california
Karma payment plan
My car broke down out in the street
The radiator sprung a leak
I met this guy he said he could help me
Im on the karma payment plan
We went to his house and did some speed
He said karma would pay for this deed

sown both good or bad are seeds of our destinies.
