Lady Justice
This is like, a contemporary, rhyming-take on a sonnet. Nothing serious. Just havin fun. Enjoy, ladies and gentlemen!
“Lady Justice”
Shadow on pavement's not sparkling white
The chill, dark space consumes the light
The Lady in robes takes truth to weigh:
the blind, the sad, the sick, the great
Palms decay, they sweat, unsure,
shaping shells to pock the world
With chaos, war, compassion dies
as twisted lips are spilling lies
Power turns inverted, deaf
The rebel's voice, defeated, left
Peace decreed for mass-deception
as the Powers That Be breed misconceptions
for justice is nothing but interpretation
