Justice

They say Justice is a woman
That men should fear her wrath
Nothing will make them tremble
More than hearing her laugh

She is going to make them know
That she should be feared
They will ask for mercy
And then hide in their beard

But Justice will be kind
She will not take their head
But will make them suffer mentally
And wish that they were dead

Pain will not be physical
She will lead a merry dance
But in the end of everything
She always gives a final chance

A great poem Edith. It gave me a lot to think about. I don't really like women who play mind games. :-).

One here to mull about my dear friend mama bear.yes some women can get down very nasty and vicious when scorned by someone or something stops working right in their brain and they go crazy completely mental which for me is very bad and sad I hate violence of any type no matter the motive behind it or the situation revenge is not the way to justice to me that's all leave it all to God to deal with. He sees it all I know. Great write! A 7 for you! :) Love and hugs! xxxx D.
