Hidden (it is what it is)

sorenbarrett

Blind Justice steps on swallow's tail
Pheme wears a stolen gown
In a sinking boat Aletheia sets sail
Apate's beckoning waves pulls her down

The white hat sports a bullet hole
Pistis robbed naked in the dust bin
Athena's brain chained to a religious pole
Five hundred lashes pays a righteous sin
