Karma coins

in Billy Childish style I kocked out this one :)

I think
Karma coins are earnt
by better deeds than
just grunting through
life.

 

Can't eat
them or smoke them
but could build
a tall steady
pile

 

to spend
on things like good fortune.
I would spend mine
to make my mother
well.

 

But even
if you are a crab apple
you could be earning
unintentionally
heaps.

 

But not
if you are just a
selfish pig you get none.
It costs to be an
arsehole.

I've read scores of poems here, hundreds over the years. Every now and then one hits home and feels very personal. This one does. Part of me is a crazy wild poet. The real me though is a suited Canary Wharf salaryman, grunting through life and sometimes thinking about what % pension I will get. Oink! I really like the notion of the Karma coins. Ach, yes, crabby? yep I can be crabby. Tell me more about the nice coins! And then that last verse! Ach, is that what I am? It is possible. I will try not to be. Will take your lines to heart as there is truth in them.
