Chastise Justice
wild eyed mother stares through glazing thoughts.
paying no attention to her child of war.
bastard father maker stands shunning light.
children fight back lakes of tears with new found might.
insult self redemption with your chosen hate.
steal the good samara ten's intentions and his offering plate.
bridges have not been built yet but still they swim.
across the oceans wilderness to comfort sin.
why is justice only seen in the eyes of the few.
justice chastised the boat and condemned it's crew.
tired eyed brother is the family's father now.
working in the maize until his legs give out.
broken sister lays down for ten men each day.
for food for the younger kids and not a cent of pay.
nature will forgive her but her neighbor's don't.
they stand in condemnation,as they scream and moan.
she teaches her younger siblings bye the midnight light.
for she understands the power of learning to read and right.
justice only taught her how to be lost too life.
that's why justice must now be chastised.
