It was at the orphanage.

Love's Balance Sheet

Love's Balance Sheet



Love can never be understood,
It's sometimes bad, often good.
If you drew up Love's balance sheet,
How would all the sums of columns meet?

What answer would the figures give,
Positive or negative?
Value judgments would abound,
Would you...

And rarely do they occupy the same space

As the mind thinks, imagination makes it probable
So what would you do if you...

The gavel slammed its judgement down
On my impassioned plea,
Doomed to run-on sentences
Served concurrently.
My term began an infinite jest,
Time after time, time without rest.
On and on, again and again,
Ad infinitum, days without end.
Illicit contraband stashed in...

Repeat Offenders
I'm a criminal.
And I got 6-to-life for a crime that 
I will recommit.
But we are all repeat offenders
Consciously committing consistent crime.

Humanity sitting at the world's largest dinner table
passing the right or wrong...
