... and there are no scales large enough! Nice minimalism here. You provoke many thoughts in a short verse; indeed, there is strength in simplicity. Keep 'em coming Charmaine!

Hey close the open eye, and dream of a better life where love would be the eye to the eye of war... I do believe in justice, but I believe nothing can make a better society than love itself. Many of the troubles in the world are all because of that statement 'eye for an eye', then they say its justice, God is just , but above justice, I believe God is love. Im opeless at explaining I know : )Oops sorry.

This reminds me of the Ghandi quote: "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."
