Inequity

Where balance once was leveled . . . New weight simply sought one side. This gave a fresh burden to the barren, Leaving the scales of justice defied. When society ignores this accounting, The failure finds only turmoil and unrest. While foundations become fractured and shaken, As lofty values are recalled to test. Though some may seek to postpone this Equilibrium, with no memory of a reality forgot. The gravity will persist and punctuate, Until parity can maintain a fair shot.

Hello Timothy ... the scales of justice never seem to balance. Many are convicted for their poverty. Power and greed tip the scales unfortunately - thank you Timothy - Lindsay
