Justice

What is justice and who took it?
I want fairness and equity.
Fighting for justice requires people to care.
Speaking of fighting,
I'm making a right jab
at people perpetuating injustice.
The power brokers are going to fight back.


No one wants to give up their superiority.
Maybe I'm wrong for trying to change the status quo.
The social milieu is the way it is
when I got there.
I'm too presumptuous to try to influence it.
Doubts set in: do I have the right balance in mind?


Too much debating gives way,
somewhere, to use of ammunition.
If we can't reach a compromise,
I'll kill the hindrance.
Yeah, kill the umpire!

This issue bleeds points of view
crossing points of view.
Once some headway is made,
someone ad hoc comes in
with a spear or a fisticuffs.

Justice, then, is too much fighting.
Somebody wants it that way.

If we can't rely on the values of
respect, cooperation, and responsibility,
developed in every individual,
we can't rely on anything.
