Member-only story
we all pay debts we cannot afford
that is part of living and committing acts
sometimes they’re needed more often not
if only we had more prudentia
justitia is up there on a pillar on the mount
always white even in the dark and blindfolded
seeing with all her self as the scales sway
with just the hidden flick of the wrist
you can live in perpetual penury paying off
what is owed by others and fearing a sword
or you could choose to be joyful inside every action
through faith and action
in equanimity
dread creeds fade unholy deals unmade
have courage in choosing a life and view
committing to it and making it true rather
than what society has told you again and again
when it hardly understands what it insists
pay or be free go or stay but strive to be more
than what you saw and what was thought
by yourself or anyone else who said they thought
now the heart’s darkness resolved in its own place
the undiminished sun of luminous clarity
shines continuously
see how wide and full the world is and as the sky
have good fortune wherever you go
and in any company happy
