as ye sow so shall ye reap

narrative verse

 

 

As ye sow so shall ye reap

 

Tenebrous shadows congregate

 and murmur surreptitiously.

 About the vagaries of fate

 and who or what they used to be.

 

Once powerful now powerless.

They complain interminably

 but to the world have no access.

No power on earth can set them free.

 

They are condemned for their past sins

 and all must serve their sentence out

But then of course new life begins

another chance of finding out.

 

Where they went wrong, try to amend

for hurts they caused deliberately.

Impossible now to pretend.

They see with renewed clarity.

 

That as you sow so shall you reap.

This simple law can’t be repealed.

That’s why the shadows wail and weep

 because their sins lie unconcealed.

 

Each act recorded faithfully

 there is no way that you can lie.

Although you acted furtively

 you can’t escape the watchful eye.

 

Of your own deep subconscious mind

Recording what you did and why.

A monitor that’s well designed

to bring to light what you deny.

 

Yours is the only evidence

that karmic law will listen to.

No one can speak in your defence.

 The faults are clearly down to you.

 

You are the jury and the judge

 and you impose your own sentence.

No legal niceties to fudge

and no pretended penitence.

 

You join the other shadows who

 wait in the dark impatiently.

 To be reborn as someone new.

Your role selected carefully.

 

To give the opportunity

 to undertake the tests again.

The tests you failed so miserably

by causing other people pain.

 

You’ll suffer as you caused them to

Their agonies will be redressed

your wickedness rebounds on you

Until the lesson is impressed.

 

If you succeed you can move on

 It is entirely up to you.

Each life can teach a new lesson

 as each life is intended to.

 

No one’s condemned eternally

 you always get another chance.

Some learn their lessons easily

 according to their circumstance.

 

But others find it very hard

 and fail the test repeatedly.

A life of misery their reward

but they will learn eventually.

 

That what you give is what you get.

The scales must balance perfectly.

All other laws you can forget.

All men are treated equally
