Balance

What can happen, will
The probable is a ghost
Likely, a mirage
.
.
.
Numbers sometimes lie
Don’t hide behind faulty shields
False security

The good will happen
Wheels of fortune quickly spin
The bad will follow

Nothing is certain
But the balance that binds us
Karma, if you like

The bad will happen
Wheels of fortune quickly spin
The good will follow

Numbers sometimes lie
Don’t stand exposed, cowering
Living fraught with fear
.
.
.
Is your goblet full?
Or does it suffer, thirsty?
Only you may know.
