Justice Sleeps Sound

***
Beacon of liberty stunningly original
Integrity unbending
…. genuinely formidable

Courageousness clamoring and Brave
Poised intricately…
to protect and save

Untailored impetuous spirit thrives
Inside hiding Many…
burdened lives

Never forgiving nor merciful to sin
Always a fair trial
…. before judgment comes in

Cantering an unstoppable Flawlessness
Altruistic in setting
…. faithful lawfulness

Do not bequeath your liberties ashore
Impenetrable stone…
stands forever more

Marvel your life story to the world once or thrice
Generations of healers…
Mentor’s heed advice

stand tall in your truth…never back down
justice is blind…
…yet it always sleeps sound~

                      ***

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 4/14/2009 8:41:00 AM Provocative words, "Justice is blind...yet it always sleeps sound." I wait for the day when Lady Liberty's blindfold is removed so we can stand equal "before judgment comes in." Your intriguing poem is masterfully worded and thought-provoking, Jane. Outstanding!
