Truth and Justice

The truth should speak for itself

For if it doesn’t, injustice will prevail

The problem with our courts of justice is

That they don’t look at the situation as it is

But rather at how it is represented

So when a criminal is represented as an angel

And the court buys it

Justice is perverted

And the court becomes criminal too

Perpetrators of injustice

On the helpless innocents.

Thousands and millions perish

Live in despair and cry

Because of this great injustice

When judgments are bought for a price.

The hand that should correct and protect

Becomes the very hand that maims and kills

Hearts, minds, souls and spirits

When they are crushed

Though they did no wrong.

Isn’t this predicament far worse than the first?

Then – they felt that someone would help,

Understand and do them justice

And now – all hope turns to despair,

Pain and torment as they cry

“There is no one who would help!

There is no hope! We are finished!!”

Would not the halls of heaven

Resound with cries of sorrow

Of souls trapped in circumstances

Crying for they can see no tomorrow?

For there, no bribes

Nor destruction of evidence

Can save a criminal’s skin

The cause of true justice is upheld

The victory can be won.

The compensation there is restoration

And losses turn into gain.

O unrepentant man!

Turn from the road to fraudulent gain

The violence you create will one day end you too

Nothing you amass through another’s sorrow

Will ever do you any good.

Haven’t you read the tales of old

Of thousands who perished in greed

So why carry on through the glittering road

That leads to the doubly dead?
