JUSTITIA

Justitia, or lady justice

Matronly Goddess

Stands for fairness

Validating justice

Sanctifying the law

A figure of trust

Before the court

She stands

Blindfolded

To mete out justice

Without fear of favour

Equality for all

In the eyes of the law

Impartiality

In Justitia's left hand

The measuring balances

The scales of justice

Weighing the evidence

For and against

Support and opposition

Guilt and innocent

Justitia, in her right hand

Holds the sword

The symbol of power

Of reason and justice

A double edge sword,

The sword of justice

The nemesis sword

To be wielded for or against

Retribution or vengeance

Justita is a fraud

Justice is not blind

Rip off the blindfold

From the bitch's eyes

She is not blind

She has no impartiality

She is the establishment

The ruling order

Her principled scales

Don't measure justice

Only a rich mans coin

And her noble sword

The sword of justice

The nemesis sword

Is used to smite the weak
