Justice, Justicia - Cardinal Virtues 2

What else could Justice be than the equal
Application of the Law’s provision
To the interest of diverse parties?
I do not have to share your values to
Share your constitution and citizen’s
Rights.  Even though tomorrow, we may find
Ourselves on the aisle’s opposite sides,
Today we march in solidarity.
She is blind, our Lady holding the Scales,
Impartial to your status. But Ideal
Conditions seldomly prevail, and he
Who brings the greatest money to the bar
Gets to create the story being told,
While the poor are fitted to their fiction.
