A Review of Justice

What is justice? What is right
In a world consumed by greed?
What can we do when justice is gone
and the law can't intercede?

We need to heed sound instruction.
We require the power to trust.
We desire a new dimension.
This directive is a must!

So sack the politicians;
The judges should all go.
Disband committee meeting;
Quangos are a 'no'!

Innuendos and intentions
must fully be explored.
Appointing Peoples' courts;
Should, at first, not be ignored.

Heh! Hang on just a second,
I've just thought of something new:
Human rights will be denied.
Let's forget about this review!
