Unlucky

Good luck is non transferable –
even by charm.

Bad luck, on the other hand,
is completely sharable –
it’s cause for alarm!

Our addiction to misery
increases our suffering
our willingness to spread sorrow
keeps our happiness buffering

We exhaust our good karma
and make few more good effects
ostensibly wasting
what little time we have left

Action and effect,
so easy to contemplate
moment by moment
evidence reveals our fate
seems silly to hesitate
we don’t have the time to wait

Running always to our suffering
with attachment our choking leash
inappropriate attention manifesting
the nonsensical stories we must cease
for karmic seeds mix with these delusions
and quickly appear intense pain
prompting us to commit the same!
with familiarity our curse,
          and self-cherishing our bane

We must break the uncontrolled cycle
with continuous purification
and a strong determination
to realize our destiny,
        this karmic mind chemistry

Otherwise we will continue to suffer
unluckily, again and again
      by our own hand
while we keep blaming others
