Getting On
Jan 23 2024
All those past lives
only to find myself in this incarnation;
undistinguished
mediocre
dispensable.
And to think, once a Pharaoh
prophet
leader of men.
I know this;
feel it in my bones,
have visions
in my sleep.
Can only hope
that next time
when the circle turns
my trajectory resumes.
Destiny, after all, isn't to be trifled with.
Karma, I’m not so sure of.
But then, while I've been heathen
apostate
and true believer,
shaman and animist,
I never followed Buddha.
So I should slip through,
sins notwithstanding.
Anyway, it's hard to do much damage
when you're powerless.
But please, just not a long life;
I need to get on with this!
Why, in past lives, was no one ever a stable hand or field slave?!!
