Poem:

Justice is mentioned glibly, yet

many a time it fails,

casting a shroud of disbelief –

the suffering it entails.

When justice bears its burden ,

based on the laws of fairness

it must get ready and equipped

with truth and keen awareness –

A process that should falter not,

nor lapse into neglect;

Before it should a verdict give

In truth and good effect.

A slip as bad as it might be,

Alas, could miss its mark;

Like shooting blunted arrows

Aimless, in the dark.

True justice sets itself apart

from falsehood and confusion,

away from the uncertainty

of dangerous disillusion.
