THE LAW


Some folks call it Karma.

Some say what goes around comes around

But this I know for certain

“Every dog has his day.”

Some say it is just the Law of Reciprocity

Some call it retribution or compensation

But this I know is true

God is not mocked; you reap what you sow

Some state, “What goes up must come down.”

And for every action, a reaction

But this I know is sure

What you do unto others

Unwittingly, you do the same to you

You do the same to you

Sow to the flesh and reap of the flesh corruption.
