Whim Justice

What's happened here?
I asked, 
I asked again...
and where to reclaim.

For I've lost something precious (so dear to me)
and someone or something's to blame
and will I be repaid in heaven's name? 
To be sure, I'll find peace in justice, heh
justice in life..
heh!    

Where to place it..
God, demon, mankind, or you?
Oh, such a shame to know
the fault could be all mine too...
swirled in murky shallows
can't fix it, can't face it
can never forget it
it is an injustice,
after all...

So dear friends, convince me 
whim of justice, just isn't so
so I decided finally to 
just let it go...

I find it quite enjoyable to read your insightful poem regarding Justice. Notwithstanding the fact that modern justice seems to be decided on an arbitrary basis. I am quite grateful for the kind comment you left on my page.

I enjoyed pangie's remarks underneath your poem as well as what you wrote. Justice today does seem quite a whim. Thanks for what you wrote me about your brother being a fan. That was nice of you to say

Hi…,if you mean civil Justice? That’s about gone out the window.I think. Criminal Justice? A joke. Actually… it’s pathetic,and frightening. AntiSemitism is growing. Catholics, beware, the FBI is in churches. Let me know what you mean.please! Panagiota
