-- In the Balance of the Scale --

John Herlihy

 

We have ears,

But what do we listen to?

We listen,

but what do we hear?

We hear,

But what do we take in>

We take in,

Bu what do we realize?

We realize,

But what do we internalize?

We internalize,

But what do we really know?

We know,

But what do we really do>

We do things,

These things sit on a scale.

The scale actions hold,

In the balance, all will be told.
