Opinions
The Furies unleashed
Three sisters goddesses
Masters of justice rulers of vengeance
Retribution of the divine
Driven by the Furies
In pursuit of truth ruthless
The Furies of old
Were the gods outside of us
To be worshipped to be feared They are now archetypes within us
To be understood to be overcome
When there is balance within us
We reflect this back to the world
Without balance chaos ensues
