Justice
Justice is a beggar,
a mongrel gnawing on
the bones of truth,
orphaned and starving
on streets paved
with law.
Justice is a whore,
bloodied in a corner,
meting absolution
to the highest bidder
on sheets stained
with law.
Justice is a tumor,
cankered, pestulant and vile,
bringing death to the living,
pain to the harmed,
and all in the name
of law.

Poetry: Judging
by Shari Mead
I stare into the pool of water
Stunned by what I see
A reflection, which vaguely resembles me
Not quite perfect in the rippling
by Anita Carter
He Is Judge
I know, there are people out there
who judges me; for who I am.
And I know I am wrong in judging others.
But when
You do some things I wouldn't do
say some things that are untrue
but, it's not me you'll answer to
so, why should I remark
An angels scorn;
Careful what you say
As you walk on by
Dismissing me in every way
Not even looking me in the eye
Careful what
"Safe and Sound"
True forgiveness
what is this?
saving the mind from a dream of hell
Unconditional
true forgiveness
helps
