~13-1/2~

They say its the worst shit, you ever seen
if your dealing with numbers, that add up to this
lopsided world, where the favours in tow
a little known equation, at the end its all sin.

Two sides to a story, that won't seem to unfold
gold plated water, trickles their throat
while fairness is futile, the judge is a joke.

Eye in the sky recording the day
man in the box, himself he must play
clouds fill the rain......as green gets to feed
innocent eyes....respect where they've been.

While part of a calendar sits near the wall
is there conflict of interest, will some take a fall
moment of truth's, stuck tween dark and light
13-1/2.......forever days and longer nights.
