Tilt the scales for yourself

Equality is unrealistic.

I decided that the day I learned

that even kings can't share the same table.

That's why a man's only tool

is the justice he can wield.

Half Filled Glasses

A glass half empty married a glass half full

And asked why she loved his emptiness

Equality, she answered

Your flaws equal my own

But together we are both filled

Give and Take

I gave him my love, requested

his in return, but he laughed

in my face. I carved a hole in

his chest and stole his heart.

I'd earned it fairly.

Death, The Great Equalizer

Kneeling in

The dreary rain

Tracing fingers

On your name.

"Three years old"

Etched with pain

In marble stone.

Beside you lain

A ribboned General...

You and he the same

The long con

The killing wasn’t necessary, but fun. He sat, belly full, throat sated. He concentrated on slowing his breathing and relaxing his racing heart. He had nothing to worry about, for the women’s body was well buried, his tracks covered. Once his body settled he wagged his tail and awaited his master.

It’s Over!

You've categorically denied my requests for marriage, children, and even for tonight's dinner plans. I can't live like this! It's over!

Reason for return: This Magic 8-Ball is overly-pessimistic, controlling, and rude.
