I believe in karma, and that what goes around
comes around

I believe that when I find a $20 bill on the ground
I can take it
as long as no one’s around

I believe that there are good people doing hard jobs
and I can trust in them
to know more than I do

I believe that there are some bad people doing easy work
and I can trust them
as far as I can throw them

I believe that I can tell the difference between good people and bad
and I know who to back
and who to toss aside

I believe that the more care and love we give to one another
will make an inherent difference
as I believe the opposite

I believe that an open mind and open heart
and plenty of good music
can keep a downtrodden person sane

I believe that no one should be downtrodden
but I know that oppressors exist
and towards them should be laid the blame

But I believe that everyone has a lesson to learn
and even oppressors have a learning curve
so I will give them the benefit of a doubt
for now

But not for long
