Poetic Justice

I hold no grudge nor bear no ill

against life's knocks and batters,

It's just life's way of mending souls

and balance that which matters.



Each soul begins its life anew

with neither plus nor less .

It wends its way to meet that final

verdict... no or yes.



For every evil thing we do

comes back to us in spades.

It's called, "poetic justice,"

and its purge makes evil fade.



The scales of life tilt up or down

and in and out, like weavin',

The best a soul can hope for

is to end up breakin' even.
