Justice of the World

What do you see?

What do you think?

when you see the word “Justice”.

I see “Just Ice”:

The ice-cold hard tribulations,

of the weak and the powerless.

The cold shoulder

society shows the poor and the destitute.

I think of the ice-cold hearts of dubious leaders,

who send young men

to kill and die in faraway lands,

and of the chilling “resolutions”

the powerful inflicts

on those who can’t defend themselves.

I see the frozen dark landscape,

that becomes the dwelling of those displaced

by humanity’s perpetual and senseless conflicts.
