Justitia
Amber scales hanging side by side
like the fierce wheels of destiny
that tame the ego and the pride.
For contempt is a mutiny
that to hell, it gives one a ride.
The veiled eyes of the potent blow
tell all that no one is immune.
For if one hits the rule below
for sure he’ll sing a lonely tune,
for in tough cage he will not glow.
The gavel of equality
is hitting hard to tame the beast,
so the heart of humanity
can gather peacefully and feast,
for its sword tames one’s vanity.
