Karmic Katabasis

A world of our own making
With beliefs, hopes & dreams
An illusion we call reality
With fantasies, dreams & deceptions
A game we came to act
With friends, families & fellow travelers
A desire forever arose
With likes, dislikes and whims.

A birth of our own karma
With tendencies, impulses & unfulfilled needs
A personality costume we wore
With fear, insecurity & anxieties
A character we chose to play
With sadness, anger and grief
A time unchosen will end the play
With regret, remorse and guilt
