Justice

If being a wicked soul is a sin,
glimpsing a person 
performing crime
And do nothing ontime 
even if you could
is the biggest sin of all

Just answer me,
What if the same issue
happens to you?
Will you be dumb?
Won't your mind goes numb? 
Will you be able to feel the sin then?

Awaiting the punishment from god
Delaying the judgement of lord
Should not be the escape route to miscreants
Just wondering, does not god know
that justice delayed is justice denied
What is there hiding his sight?

What's the point?
If the justice wins
And the accused dies?
Will he know that
 he is now free of guilt?
Who would inform him? 

Blaming karma for all the faults
Has been now a fashion default
Mistakes and carelessness are
certainly the human errors
And reasons for many offense 
One cannot defy their true sense

Justice ought to be like the forest fire
To play with it no one should dare
All I pray is
May the fire burn inside 
May the fire not extinguish
May the force be there always

God judges and is merciful, more merciful than us.

We all should assist in applying justice whenever and wherever we are able to, in the name of our Lord. A profound message coming from above, dearest, Supraja! God bless you!

Quite a treatise on justice which is not easy to discern. In fact we should never judge others. Human justice can sometimes be wrong. Yet your poem has many positive points in it.
