Karmic Jam

Left
right
forward
backward...
which way to go?
move now;
wait for better opportunities;
or follow roads of habituality?
Sensory perceptions
overloaded;
hemmed in by conditioning;
overcased by emotive impulses
and staccato delusions,
our karmic traffic
jammed into eternal routing
and dogmatic illusions,
while awaiting nirvana's exit.
