Impartiality

What’sfair is frank is fabulous when

Theace is downed and done.

Sohard to hold neutrality

Whenheld under the gun.

Butequal even-handed trial

Isnecessary meat 

Tofeed the beast of justice fair

Whoseldom knows defeat.

 

So,how might I stay steadfast

Toimpartiality and

Holdmy head above the fray

Insilent probity?

 

Ido not choose.

Iwill not choose.

I’llpose upon the fence

Andlisten to the lot of you

Decrythe where and whence.

 

Andwhen pretense and posturing

Arefaded to demise

Asoft rebuttal trills the air

Onwings of gentle butterflies.
