Justice breathed

 

Justice was shaken awake and  took the jury seat

justice broke inimidation's muzzle and began to speak

Justice lifted denial's  blinders and opened her eyes

she broke the unspoken law and allowed bigotry to die

justice stood up

she stepped on its neck and snuffed it out

Justice resisted hate and broke history's bad habit bout

Justice took a vulnerable, deep fresh breath

justice stood up

jusice spoke up

justice breathed

justice became

justice became

justice became just

Prophetic.

Justice

Took off her blindfold

set her imbalanced scales

to ancient stone steps

and slipped out of the

signature Roman gown.

.

She slid into a navy blue

hand tailored suit and vest,

tie extra, and picked up

her briefcase on her way

to the Supreme Court.

.

Lady A

.
