Justice is fair Justice is, well, just Just the facts Just what is needed Needed to assign punishment Needed to enforce the law. Law of the land Law and order Order of business Order to restore Restore societal wrongs Restore balance of power Power to make a difference Power to effect change Change in government Change in society Society united Society rebuilt Rebuilt to prosper Rebuilt for the common good Good from bad Good policing Policing is lackluster Policing is corrupt Corrupt nowadays Corrupt and violent Violent against minorities. Violent arrests Arrests without just cause Arrests for crimes Crimes of the petty kind Crimes quite serious Serious police reform needed Serious injustice Injustice anywhere Injustice everywhere Everywhere one looks Everywhere in America America, my beloved country America has a problem Problem with gun violence Problem with racism Racism against minorities Racism and anti-Semitism Anti-Semitism is on the rise, Anti-Semitism needs to stop. Stop the madness! Stop the mistreatment! Madness Mistreatment

Boy this really sums up Satan's world in a poetic nutshell. I like how you first start off with the ideal of justice then morph to the realities of our modern world. I'm sure you realize it's not just America, but global. The Prince of Peace will soon address all injustice and establish a foundation for true justice, which will result in a global brotherhood of man (Matthew 5:5). Soupmail

True indeed, Tom. We're living in an imperfect world, after all:-) I appreciate your visit, feedback and soupmail, my friend.
