Power of Morality

Does being moral make life fair?

Does it stop revenge that would harden the heart more?

Life was unjust.

And probably still is.

But what would have compensated, for those wounds?

Would it have been power?

Would it have been a new car?

A skyline tower from which to gaze at the stars?

Would it have been to give back to the victims within a society?

Or to help feed the starving in another country?

Maybe expensive lingerie to improve self-worth?

Is it the realization that victims show up every day?

Could it be the acceptance of flaws?

Or the acknowledgment of the capacity to mingle with sin?

The answer for justice and fairness continues to elude me.

Maybe it resides in religiosity.

Is it eternal life past death?

Or is it reincarnation into what is deserved?

Could it be to wander aimlessly as a ghost, searching its soul for release?

What of the power of morality?

It can balance the scales tipped by hands stained with wicked deeds.
