On Justice

Why is justice difficult to achieve-- Simple matter of doing what is right, Fair, and inherently good, I believe, Why is justice difficult to achieve? A concept, surely, we can all perceive Ideas for which we must join and fight Why is justice difficult to achieve— Simple matter of doing what is right. written May 26, 2021

Oh, could one write a book about the eight lines of this poem, Milt. Great thought-provoker.... Am now harking back to 'The Lady and the Tiger' -- surely a case of simple justice... and then there's the clearcut case of justice in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' Not to mention the black-and-white issues in 'The Andersonville Trial..' or Barney Greenwald (the brilliant defense lawyer) and his disdain for the defendants in 'The Caine Mutiny Court Martial.' And can we include Cassius and Brutus?! Bravo!
