A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
Thrown from their thrones
Flesh and bones?
Nothing weathers
That matters
Is it fine
In this time
When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live
Perhaps, not that far away
A day
When what is just
Just is
More than chance
That justice
Someday will sway
The balance
PART II
When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live
When what is just
Just is
Justice
Someday will sway
The balance
How will I weigh?
A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
The one that weathers
Thrown from their thrones
The one that matters
Is not me
Without we
I just am
Without you
Too
Two alones
A family
Better we’d be
Better by far
We already are
Together we way
Together we weigh
Together we may
Without fail
The Scale
Just is
Justice
