Paid When Balance Is Due
PAID WHEN BALANCE IS DUE
SOME say death is by chance
a twist of fate
merely happenstance
and others take the rein
believing death by their own hand
I say death is the magician
a slight of hand -- misdirection
allowing humans to believe
the end is fate or self-fulfilled
but angels see the cold pact
forged before time itself
Life is a ledger and always
paid when balance is due.
