Injustice

The sharpest sight may blind become All prejudice left behind When wisdom's tongue becomes dumb No mercy shall we find Justice too does sometimes peak from 'round her tattered blinders When scales are tipped, she then cries out As freedom slowly binds her ~Christopher Thor Britt

Well penned Christopher! I love the imagery you portray when justice peaks round tattered blinders - it seeks to show the extent to which man would go to diminish justice yet somehow it continuously makes its presence known. You've said it best.
