Justice

Everything seems more life-sized than normal today, 
and the air is perfumed with justice.
Comradery defines America, as tears of relief 
roll down our cheeks. 
The sky is bluer, the grass is greener and people
are smiling on the streets.
We fought, we journeyed , we won.

Justice is served in a court of law, by a preponderance of the evidence, not by the media, with no evidence. That's not justice its called murder of the innocent.. no matter what you're taught to believe of them.
