There is a law which guarantees <br /> that as you sow so shall you reap, <br /> there’s no point in not guilty pleas. <br />The record keeper never sleeps. <br /> <br />That which you give you will receive. <br /> The correct balance must be kept <br />just simple justice I believe. <br />You have no choice you must accept <br /> <br />The punishment that you deserve. <br />Forget the lies you have been taught <br />repenting misdeeds will not serve. <br />Your protestations count for nought. <br /> <br />The scales must balance exactly. <br />The credit and the debit side, <br />no one is punished unjustly. <br />The law is equally applied. <br /> <br />There’s only you gives evidence <br /> before a jury of your peers, <br /> with wisdom and experience <br />to understand your hopes and fears <br /> <br /> They will advise you that’s what they do. <br />About the things you need to learn <br /> but the decisions left to you. <br />To choose to rest or quick return. <br /> <br />To start again with a clean sheet. <br />Another chance for you to earn <br /> the merits needed to complete <br /> the lessons which you need to learn. <br /> <br />Each life we live a step towards <br /> a destination still unknown <br />Where we receive our just rewards <br /> because we are at last full grown. <br /> <br />16-Jan-08<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/scales-of-justice/
