COMUPPANCE

You'll get yours
What goes around - comes around
One's just desserts
A punishment or retribution that one deserves.
Wages for sins of the past.

They say that what goes around
comes around  -
What you reap
is what you sow...
But I often wonder
the truthfulness of those sayings.
How many people have played
with others hearts and feelings
and often cruelly hurt others
in romance, love
and relationships.
They come away unscathed
smelling fresh as a rose
happy as a lark
I'd like to know where they get their seeds.
They sow onion seeds
and reap roses -
everyone else is left
weeping and tearful
while they
walk away
with a rose
in their
teeth.
