we all pay debts we cannot afford

we all pay debts we cannot afford
that is part of living and committing acts
sometimes they're needed more often not  
if only we had more prudentia 

justitia is up there on a pillar on the mount
always white even in the dark and blindfolded
seeing with all her self as the scales sway
with just the hidden flick of the wrist

you can live in perpetual penury paying off 
what is owed by others and fearing a sword 
or you could choose to be joyful inside every action

through faith and action 

in equanimity
dread creeds fade unholy deals unmade

have courage in choosing a life and view then
committing to it and making it true rather
than what society has told you again and again 
when it rarely believes what it insists

pay or be free go or stay but strive to be more
than what you saw and what was thought
by yourself or anyone else who said they thought

now the heart's darkness resolved in it's own place
the undiminished sun of luminous clarity 
shines continuously 

see how wide and full the world is and as the sky
have good fortune wherever you go 
and in any company happy

For Jñāna
