To Justice With Love
TO JUSTICE WITH LOVE…
Your deceitful tease
and elusiveness
are beyond compare;
your blind promise
has yet proven
that you really care.
How long
must my soul
lowly hang
like strange fruit
dripping trails
of its fallen red juice
behind its every pursuit?
They say
only death rivals
your equanimity—
Fool I was—thinking
such also included me.
I’m taught
to always love
and seek you
everywhere; but
in all my loving
and searching,
I can’t find you
Anywhere.
For me, the warmth
of your sweet bosom
has never been there.
Yet, I shall not wander in vain
nor without a strong belief—that
from your aching judicial loins—
Unfailing faith will bring sweet relief.
