Jokester Jester Balances Ball

Jokester Jester balances himself on the tip of a ball.
Some of the maids in waiting whispered he would indeed fall.
He was super confident, because he had mastered this trick.
It was one of his specialties, his name was Balancing Nick.

The king was not impressed, he rolled his hazel eyes instead.
Then he said in a most severe

Checks and Balances

A system of checks and balances
  Is the fulcrum of democracy

Governments write many checks
  But their budgets never balance

   ~ So how about plutocracy

Checks and Balances

How finely grind the checks and balances,
the system that minds the store.
To delve into the lies and challenges,
oh boy, what a national chore.

Challenges Balances

I am glowing testament;
A testimony-bright and flowing vestment;
Shall blossom my spirit rest on this;
Glory, freedoms blemished..
Glorious freedoms accepted
Hallelujah!
Alleluia!
Challenges balances;
God blesses, Jesus reigns
He confesses mercies grace chances…

How In This Racing World Life Balances Out

How In This Racing World Life Balances Out

How in this racing world life balances out
Lose love, seek thee sincere, find another.
World sends hell on thee, watch it turn about
Feel alone, hug thy sister or brother!

If rains beats hard upon thy weathered brow
wait, another day bright sun will reward.
Fence storm damaged, lost is thy lone milk

Balances

The sun's a majestic and radiant power 
And all it caresses is warmed by its kiss. 
It revives each day with a new beginning, 
But in evening, succumbs to twilight's dim bliss... 
   To be bright and radiant as the rising sun, 
   Yet glow softly as sunset when day is

Checks and Balances

The brain’s a clever system
For keeping things in check.
It stops you getting dizzy
Every time you turn your neck.

Your balance is adjusted
With every move you make;
But if the signal’s off, the world
Starts spinning by mistake.

A therapist can teach you
Just what makes your body tick.
Some exercises help
But only time will do the trick.

There’s so much we don’t

All Checks No Balances

They tangle and they twist; wear diamonds on their wrist;
Their security is spying; and they say that you are lying;
You yelled and jeered and hissed; and now you’re on their list;
And with their time they’re biding; till they keep you down and hiding
