POEM - 'Where to Draw the Line'

There just reaches a point in the world
where suffering just seems to reach a maximum.
It makes me wonder about the divine.
Who are those vengeful gods?

It makes me wonder about Dharma.
Who are those bodhisattvas?
Why does suffering need to be?
Unruly children who won't come in from play?
Karma is a very powerful thing.
By one's actions, the consequences
of those actions come back into play.
It might not be an immediate reaction.

It actually might take a certain number of years
when resolution of that decision might be available.
It could be remedied instantaneously
and permanently with the proper correction.
