Justice – The 33rd Good Word of the Good Word Project
Justice - 33rd word in The Good Words Project
The "Good Words" project, created by Jo_Goldsmith11. Jo gives us a good word each week to practice living by, to help and inspire fellow hubbers, to become the best writers we can be.
This is Jo's calling, to inspire and promote writers, authors and poets.
When Jo first started the "Good Words" project, I promised to write a poem for every good word. I may not get them done as quickly as I would like but will continue to do them as quickly as possible for me.
I so admire Jo for her Leadership in starting this project, I also know that it is Jo’s Ambition to help unknown writers gain recognition for their work.
And the scales of Justice will be balanced when all is wright with the world.
Justice – In the eyes of the law

When a Justice thinks he is a king
And sits upon his throne
Telling those before him
For their crimes they must atone
But, will the truth be known
Is it the Justice Himself?
Who should atone?
When he leaves the courtroom but isn't going home?
As he scurries from the court room
To have another fling
Does he consider his oath and vows
Just a superficial thing?
When did he lose that love of Truth and Justice?
Was it just today?
Or was he simply born that way
And it's those before him who will have to pay
Practice justice
Not as a Justice of the Peace
But as a just person
Someone who cares enough to be just and fair
Where are you Jo?
I tried to call
And I did write
Where are you Jo?
I just hope that you're alright.
