Poem Title:
Poem
In the realm where truth and fairness reign, The Scales of Justice sing their ancient strain. They dance upon the precipice of law, With blindfold tight, they seek no flaw. Bearing the weight of society's trust, They measure the worth of actions, fair or unjust. On one side lies the guilt, heavy with shame, On the other, innocence, seeking no blame. With careful precision, they find the balance, Balancing sins and virtues, seeking penance. For every wrong, a response must be paid, No matter the status, the color, the grade. In their impartial gaze, we find solace, Trimming the weeds, tending justice's bed. Neither swayed by emotion nor political might, For truth, they stand as a beacon of light. Yet even they know, perfection eludes, In this complex world, where darkness intrudes. For fairness can be a fickle friend, In the battle for Justice. In the vast expanse of the courtroom's realm, Where justice prevails, where truths are helm, Stands the symbol of fairness, unyielding and true, The scales of justice, the emblem to pursue. With golden arms outstretched, it firmly stands, Balancing two worlds with just command, On one side, the guilt, the blame, the strife, On the other, innocence, the chance for a new life. The scales swing gently, their weight discerning, Deciphering tales, hearing stories disturbing, Equilibrium sought, though shadows may loom, For justice seeks balance, even in the darkest room. With each grain of evidence placed with care, The scales measure truth, beyond compare, No prejudice, no bias, their purpose unfurled, For justice belongs to all, in an impartial world. Though scales may waver, sway ever so slight, Their pursuit of justice remains steadfast, upright, With careful deliberation, lives intersect, On the scales of justice, their destinies connect. Yet sometimes the scales tremble, burdened with pain, When the guilty elude, escaping their chain, But justice persists, through the darkest of nights, For its scales are fueled by courage and lights. So let the scales of justice guide our way, Through the complexities of life, where shadows sway, May fairness prevail, when the scales incline, And justice be attained, in this world of mine.
