Poetic Justice --Virtue Over Vice

“POETIC JUSTICE” (VIRTUE OVER VICE) Virtue over vice—who will pay the price Ironic twists of fate are flawed if virtue does not equal reward Logic needs to triumph—to beat and defeat The tragedy of treachery that strives to cheat and repeat Try to see outside myself and understand the eyes To analyze, theorize, recognize and polarize Excuse all the highs that terrorize Unacknowledged trauma’s are like wounds that never heal Never feel—on a constant wheel—a terrible price to pay for sin Until at last the outside matches the justice History written on the body—a canvas of poetry In the end, reality, the price to pay would be too great Too much at stake Comfort zones obliterated, confusion reiterated What then… the end? Life seems slow to reach conclusion To wait, turn back, to stop or go To fly or dive when there is no restraint or self control Deceit makes it hard to separate the self Seeking truth above the easy way out To shout, express doubt, to dropout--- burnout Justice is tested through another’s eyes Disguising their own lies as they spy and deny The poetry of playing the same game Camouflaged by another name—to shame blame and disclaim Does virtue win the day? Or vice have its say and inevitably stay Does it triumph and receive reward? Or is logic a masquerading fraud The poetry in justice must ultimately distrust and adjust this Lift the darkness Make it painless, nameless and stainless The punishment… its sword
