Justice For All

If there is anything I want besides love, it is justice
Over the years, I have sacrificed a lot for justice
Not at all for revenge, but for truth and acknowledgement
Not so much for what happened to me, but for others
Losses came in waves, there were a lot in the process
But, I have no regrets to haunt me or linger in my mind
Because, I still stand for justice with new things today
It has been my employment and also prominent in my life
If I can bring anyone relief from wrong doing, I have succeeded
In these ongoing days of turmoil throughout the world,
I can only pray that justice will be the key to bring peace
        For it is when we face the truth, we heal

Tom Cunningham November 1, 2019 at 12:31 AM There is so much injustice in our world today, it does make my blood boil when I see it like on TV, Some people do what they like to others and seem to get away with it. Well written Heidi. Good luck. Tomp Heidi Sands November 1, 2019 at 12:33 AM Hi Tom. You are right, there certainly is and it is spreading. Thank you for commenting on this.
