Notes About The Poem

" JUSTICE HARBOR " MY PHOTO,

Justice Harbor

The wise I asked:

" Tell me oh wise one, where could I justice find?"


" Justice, terrified, has fled from earth 

for

couldn't find a harbor in Man's heart 

to anchor" *


He bitterly replied!

So much wealth disparity. Your photo shows such a beautiful place--no room for injustice there. Words of wisdom, as always, my friend.

I suppose it's not a sin to be wealthy but what they do with that wealth is how they will be judged. Also, not one penny will they be able to take on their final journey. Tom

NO! Wealth is not a sin my friend, Tom, BUT so few men accumulating so much wealth and leaving half of earth's population to starve IT MAKES IT A SIN! Thank you for your comment my friend!
