a matter of scales
the matter of scales We, you and I, who don't believe in a rose scented heaven, painted by a five years old child who has a mother named Glady  Nor do we believe in that place where  stokers go, tired of an electrified world  I know of a man on X who is doing his best believing in a friendly God,...

Premium Member Scales of Justice
In the realm where truth and fairness reign, The Scales of Justice sing their ancient strain. They dance upon the precipice of law, With blindfold tight, they seek no flaw. Bearing the weight of society's trust, They measure the worth of actions, fair or unjust. On one side lies the guilt, heavy with shame, On the other, innocence, seeking no blame. With careful...

Premium Member The Scales of Being
In the market of life, where all trade and barter, A sage stood silent, watching the starter And ender of deals, the ebb and the flow, Of gains and losses, the high and the low. "Look beyond the binary," he softly spoke, To a merchant whose ledger had just gone broke. "In loss lies a lesson, in...

The scales of Lady Justice
The scales of Lady Justice Slapped in the face on the left in the right. Exposed in all my private place. Choked by the cord of avenge and revenge both seek. Stung by bees of foul and lied speech. Yanked arms by extreme deception. Legs mired in the sea of corruption. Can Lady Justice no longer hold the scales in this American...

Dark Scales
You pay BLM...DOJ? A Garland like a serpent over the Ten Commandments-Followers and over the Constitution. You keep doing what you accuse Trump of doing, then let your Media Priests preach. Then you use Google to snatch descent out of the air. Brought to you by Pfizer and the Lord of the Air. You let rapists...

A Market of Broken Scales
As I walk through the market in the early light I see the vendors and the buyers in a constant fight I see the goods and the prices change every night I see the scales and the weights that are never right The vendor claims the scales are his only heirloom The ones he got from his father along with...

WE GOBBLED GOATS CHEESE
WE GOBBLE GOAT’S CHEESE Scales of justice weighed in gold and coal cherubs and demons cheer without fear horns blow, rooms gather fat Coaxing a grey Persian cat climb stairs of glamour or disillusioned clamour Heads dance across Florentine floor joy shiver silent at a wooden door hazardous stealth the cunning core Roti fry in sesame oil to serve with Côté...

Premium Member Snake Skin Scales
On snakes gleaming skin, scales shimmer like morning dew, armor compliant. Old flakes shed for new, As silk snake skin is rebirthed. It unfolds, hardens. The scales slide over, intertwine in sliver coils. Body sinuous glides effortlessly over the ground, through the grass it slithers, with no sound nor disturbance. The scales gripping the ground with gentle caress touch, carefully firm soft, leaving shallow sliver trace. Snake skin is indeed artist's work when...

Going inward Receiving moments of grace While time unfolds Touching your heart with my breath An expansion Doorways to enter Each gift revealed through my willingness Vulnerability my partner Coaxing me towards unimagined pleasure and pain Letting my mind expand Memories of days Exploring and discovering Baiting my first hook My Father’s deep voice guiding me Watching his strong hands Red wigglers in dirt Alive in a styrofoam cup We bait...

Premium Member Tipping the Scales
Finally finished with forcing the future Beginning to balance the scales of life Purposefully pivoting to the present Ruminate, rinse, repeat was my motto Causing consternation in all situations Finally finished with forcing the future Pondering potential paths pulling me away Capping my capacity to be in the moment Purposefully pivoting to the present Relieved to no longer wrangle what’s...

She dresses perfectly with prominent spikes in her hair, long and flowing brown violet braids, which make her face exotic and relaxed.. she wears several precious stones between her hands and feet, with flower tattoos surrounding her fingers mortals adore her because it is beautiful and impossible to have, the diaphanous and crystalline skin like perfect porcelain,...

Scales of Justice
You can't certainly put a price on freedom But if something's coming in the way of you having it There's no price that you won't pay For there's nothing greater than freedom It only took me lying on that edge That I noticed how much we take for granted That when granted comes for pay back We at loss for we...
