Lady Justice

Why is justice blind?
How can she see my tears or see me gnashing my teeth?
How will she see me falling to my knees?
Shouldn’t she be the one who sees?

She has scales in her hands but she can’t 
See what’s being weighted 
Some burdens are heavy others are light
Uncover your eyes and see the light
