The Ring Master

I am the juggler
One with many gifts
Talented in many ways of manipulating all rifts
No evil or good I stand in between
One must do what they must or so it does seem

Scales that tip one way I tip to the other
I must control all beneath for I am their mother
Dark at times so must I shall be
Lightness shines upon all now beneath me

Cheat or cross the lives which we share
I shall come with a vengeance this I swear
To set you straight
To keep you on your path
Do not turn away
Or suffer my wrath
