Nature's Justice

The justice scales weigh in
From the North Pole it reigns
As the spirit of the ocean rises
Nature flexes its veins

Looking upon the new earth 
Where we are to live a perfect life 
But tempted by the apple in the sky
We succumb to temptations knife

Humanity falls in the month of November
Liberty’s wrath has us in her scope
Her judgment swift and to the core
Will these birds bring back olive hope?
