JUSTICE
She stands alone with sword and scale
Blind to all that goes on all around
They pass under without fierce judgment
She turns a blind eye to their pleas
Gavels strike with a crescendo
Away they are bound to homeless home
Bread, Water, and Rocks
Day and Night go by
Growing old and inching closer to Death's door
Committed by their Seer according to their Justice
For actions that were not our own
Alone our friends crumble to dust
In darkness the maiden weeps
Tears of Blood flow from the mask of truth
She cries for those that have been condemned
Blood flows like the truth that was once so sought for
The system has been covered
By a shroud of darkness
Not even the truth can pierce this veil
The maiden is lost and all Justice with her
Justice is not blind
She is just misguided
The sword and scale mere icons
Of their once true Power

The destruction of one is just the being of another.
The poem makes for a good political commentary. :thumb
Personally I'd rearrange the wording of a couple lines to iron out some of the more awkward transitions, but overall it's a good piece of work.
Oh, and I corrected the spelling error in the thread title.

Student: "Umm sensei, the question on the board is wrong."
Teacher "SHAAAADD UP!"
pretty good. but the last line sounded a little to off for me. but overall good.
Yeah, good poem. I'm gonna make my sig "Justice is not blind, she is just misguided". I'll credit the quote to you, of course. I wouldn't plagiarize!
My feeling exactly. My preference would be to change the last lineOriginally Posted by T Elocin
to read, "The maiden is lost and all justice with her." But hey, it's not my poem.The maiden is lost and with her all justice
