Curtis Johnson Poet Prose

Beyond the Grave

Beyond The Grave
By Curtis Johnson

The Arms of Justice, so extensive, having no limits
Reaching the lowest depths, and the highest points
Searching out both the perpetrators and the victims
Rendering to perpetrators their reckoning
Granting to victims their rewards

Yes, death will often precede reckoning and reward
Preventing ‘due process’ for victims and perpetrators
But let victims never fret; let perpetrators be well advised
Even beyond the grave, the Hall of Justice awaits
And on His throne, the Eternal Judge there sits

To execute justice to both
Granting reckoning and reward
