The True Meaning of Justice
Justice is a challenging word provoking retribution
for unpunished evils and wrong actions, but is it really understood?
It has many meanings according to the era we live in:
hear angry voices rising from despair to put in motion
a need for revenge against those in power whose goal is only gain...
History has examples of great courage like the one of Robinhood!
Writers have their own form of justice by using compelling words,
and their indignant words leave their mark on souls that are unfairly treated,
abused and thrown in prison for rebelling against a power rooted in self-greed!
Today things haven't changed much, the abiding citizens ignore wrongs...
hushing their voices, shutting doors on those pointing out the blame;
and analizing their madness, they doubt if changes will ever come!
What the rioters ought to do being abandoned by them showing malevolent intent?
Burn down all that was built for wealth and comfort and leave burning ashes?
Is this the message they send to who is just and pacific, resilient and obedient?
Let's gather in the square like civilized beings to discuss the true meaning of justice!
