The First Stone
. for public domain
No human justice is without flaw,
no law has suffered strain,
when mercy presides over court
in favor of its name.
The guilty thus be sentenced fair,
justice win the day,
pettiness shall be put to rest,
and evil lose its way.
Cast the first stone, if it must be,
so saith what is right,
but cast it truly, not in rage,
let justice rule, not spite.
