Karma Man

Fingertip sun at sideshow stalls, they throw the ballsAt coconut fur that hides behind coloured shades that blind your eyesEvery child's mother holds an ice-cream cone, they circle roundPerceived unknown by an eye that peers from a hole in the tent where no one goesA figure sitting cross-legged on the floor he's clogged and clothed in saffron robesHis beads are all he ownsSlow down, slow downSomeone must have said that slow him downSlow down, slow downIt's pictured on the arms of the Karma ManFairy tale skin, depicting scenes from human zoosImpermanent toys like peace and war a gentle face you've seen beforeKarma Man tattooed on your side, the wheel of lifeI see my times and who I've been I only live now and I don't know whyI struggle hard to take these pictures in, butAll my friends can see is just the pinkness of his skinSlow down, slow downSomeone must have said that slowed him downSlow down, slow downIt's pictured on the arms of the Karma ManSlow down, slow downSomeone must have said that slowed him downSlow down, slow down
