Notes About The Poem

Date written: 08/01/2004

Justice

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
