the karma police

by Michele Schottelkorb

the karma police are on patrol
don't drop a speck;
or remit the toll
 
piss on the playa, you'll have to pay
don't leave your m.o.o.p.~
or rue the day
 
we watch the earth and playa too
misbehave
and we'll find you
 
the karma police are everywhere
play nice, dear burners
and we'll be fair

Author's Note: our theme camp at Burning Man was Camp Zenplicity... we were the "karma police"... we drove around in our art car busting people for moop (Matter Out Of Place), not having light at night (which made them "speed bumps" for art cars) and relieving themselves on the playa (and not in the porta potties)... for good karma, we handed out passes to our Satori mixer on Sunday (free jungle juice)... interesting job, i'll have to say... ::grin::

Fascinating glimpse into one aspect of the burning man phenomena!
