Justice isn't only not blind, she's a greedy bitch
Folder:
30 years in a Hole In my youth, I envied those
who had the faith to embrace
the leaders and their orders
with confidence in the
ideal and necessity of justice,
of the cause we serve,
the ends we achieved,
the certitude of our calling.
I tried to find that faith.
I fought for it,
shed my blood for it
and carried the secrets
and the scars for it;
but the more I've seen,
the longer I served,
the more convinced
I've become that fate
is a blind roll of the dice
and that with justice,
it's how many throws
you can buy.
I have often thought about
I have often thought about this...and always come to the junction where for myself, I see "law" a true oxymoron. Reason being, we make laws and in doing so attempt to "fabricate a truth" based upon a specified perception that is something that may or may not be the same for everyone....and yet, we need law to keep any vague assemblance of "order". But try to get people to face THAT truth? Good luck. People are too caught up in their own versions of 'right and wrong' to even fathom such a concept!
Inspiring write. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."
"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Keep the candle burning ;-)

ever noticed how if you seperate justice into two smaller words you get just ice.... she's not blind, simply a cold crass bitch...

Indeed she is... I can't wait to retire and spend my timon fishing ;-)
Damn Beav!
Political knives slice down to the heart of the matter. Leave the fish alone, be a full time writer - everything has a price tag seems. That is not true, it just seems true. The Price of Justice sounds like the title of a book or movie. Hmmmm.... ~Lady A~

Thanks most deeply Lady A!!! Your words are always an inspiration to me, and more valuable than any earthly reward, for they are freely given! ;-) I had the West Memphis Three in mind when I penned this, but they are just a glaring example of how corrupt our system has become and how blind the masses are to the abuses the government (local, state, or federal) carries out in their name. Much good is done, but the evil is heavier, so does it really balance out? Love always Lady A!!! You help my pen move! ;-)
haza!
be a full time writer indeed! I AGREE!
Much Love
