A Haiku - Justice
Is there a righteous judge of us all?
Justice, pure and simple?
I just want justice.
Is that too much to expect?
Comes with a high price.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Too high for some, too.
Delayed justice... is denied?
Some say so. Me, too.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The scales of justice
Too tipped by cash to be true?
Whose justice, mine, yours?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Trust in man made false?
Taking justice in one's hands,
Righteous hands or blind?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Give me some fairness;
Just a courtroom of my peers,
God help them to be fair.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Death will close the books.
Man's justice no longer sure.
God's justice is pure.
