O Karma, Dharma, pudding and pie
gimme a break before I die:
grant me wisdom, will, and wit,
purity, probity, pluck, and grit.
Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, kind,
gimme great abs and a steel-trap mind
and forgive, Ye Gods, some humble advice-
these little blessings would suffice
to beget an earthly paradise:
make the bad people good-
and the good people nice;
and before our world goes over the brink,
teach the believers how to think.
