Just Lived

Karma cannot be controlled,
just lived.
My own state of affairs
has shown me this.
Gloating over another's misfortune
is not my way.
All I can do is sadly shake
my head and turn away.
Being that we are all human
it is a given that we will make mistakes.
We live with the ones that we have made,
making do the best that we can,
and try for sanity's sake to never repeat them.
