Justice

Amos 5:24 NKJV - But let justice roll down like water ...

Every mortal was made by God for justice;
Whose status is never to be altered by any device;
Nor ever to be enslaved or disenfranchised
By any political system that mankind could ever devise.
Everyone wants justice under the law,
Not justice cast by luck, lots, or partiality.
All people deserve justice rendered by the majority
In a democracy with rights also for the minority.
All people want justice handed out, not barely, but fairly;
Not justice based on favoritism and loyalty. People also
Desire justice flavored with mercy as well as justice
Seasoned with equality. Justice that is provided for just
A chosen few is merely inhumane justice with a misguided view.
In a humane system embraced with justice, everyone matters. 
With God's help, 'we can let justice roll down like water'.
