“I covered my eyes with pleasure
As everyone treated truth as treasure
My double-edged sword remained fresh
As everyone was bounded to reason and justice
My set of scales measured only correct and in-correct
And provided justice to every case it met.
Now, justice thinks, My eyes are covered with an objective
For them to close their eyes and remain very subjective
My doubled-edged sword remained powerful
For them to use it against those being lawful
My set of scales depicted scaling
For them to measure payoffs and crime rates.
I am penalising myself everyday for their injustices
And for allegorising myself to represent justice.”
She wept.
