Karma?

And then I came up from the basement
Slowly one step at a time in eager anticipation
Opening the door as I reach the top
Walking out into the open: head aloft

Faces look familiar yet strange
It felt to me like an eternal age
Before someone spoke sincerely
Rearranging his tormented memories

Frowns were now fixed and all around
I tilted my head to his forgotten sounds
"Welcome back to us my old friend
It's been a long time but you're now back again."

I smiled taking in a deep breath
Replying, "I think it's your turn Lance,
Do avoid the circumstance of chance
Fate and destiny await you at the bottom of them stairs
Forgive and forget unsuitable years
Give it a try and try to wonder why
Some fall, some rise and some just lie then die."

Lance gave a nervous smile back knowing
The others gazed upon me showing
No remorse or guilt for allowing
(As if they had a choice in my coming)
Pleasures is their disguise from the last time
Remembering now all their life crimes

I slowly shook my head and as I left
I just turned about and simply said,
"I hope you had as much fun as me
When Lance returns you shall all see
Fear, anger, hate and negativity
Viciously breeds in him so painfully
On his return you shall all believe
Remembering me now as I'm about to leave."

Good idea for the copyright bit at the end! But good poem all together 😊

@CuriousCat it's Fly10's idea I copied it (irony?) and thank you hun 😘

@IndiaSparrow than you babe for the lovely repost 💐

Surprise surprise that you & I first to Copyright! We're either sensible or sensitive 😉😘 This is thought provoking piece & really cleverly written. It's one that leaves it wide open for interpretation & the reader can make their own play on it. Is it a personal one or was that your intention? Don't have to answer that obviously...just curious, as I so often am😌😘

Really good mate love it 👏👏☕☕☕☕☕😜😜🐶😳

@Fly10 lol I copied your idea babe ☺ honestly have no idea where this came or what the hell it's about, karma seemed like a interesting and fitting title tho IMO. I like you being curious and asking questions Mwah xx

@smellyfingers Irony indeed! But a good idea nethertheless! No problem either 😊

Brilliant as always! 💗

I think the fact you added a ? after Karma gave it a great twist. My vision of it after reading a couple of times, was almost like a return from a 'false' hell, that others who were just as culpable had created. His words are almost retributory. Just my portrayal, for what it's worth😊😘 (& if Lance Armstong gets off the latest charges, this would be VERY apt!)😉

I love the end!

What an excellent idea and a fantastic reflection on things. As ever. 🏆🍻
