The Contract | Judy Moskowitz

From birth to death
A certificate of existence
Now belonging to the state
On paper well-formulated words
That honor protect exploit
Through loopholes of broken promises
That tear apart the walls of our heart
Electric shock waves that stun
Inside temple walls of morals and ethics
A contract with “God”
Walking down the aisle into matrimony
Or
To be leased with zero down payment
Owned as a possession to be part of inventory
Verbal or written in blood
Life is a constant contract
To be honored, broken, shredded
