A short piece of prose about delivering karma unto those who have done ill towards others.

With the bright hand of swift justice
Lightning rains down with great force
Upon the brows of upturned faces
As they seek an end to themselves.
A mere wandering specter of life
Which even now blasts its eyes
With wide open sight
Upon the landscape of the hapless
The hopeless and the futile.
There is nothing that is charming
In the delivery of quickened karma
There is only the satisfaction
The fulfillment and the giving.
Take now this darkened gaze
Take it and see what it sees
Breathe in the life it breathes
May it cease as it must cease.
With fire coursing through vein
Purging long and hard the profane
The dastardly and those to blame
May misfortune upon them rain
As dark goes the lightnings bane.
What now to have but hell to dream
Now to find no rest in sleep
Forever to be rent asunder
Forever to so calmly be
Tortured with enmity.
