She’s forged in the fire
Of unspeakable sadness
Such weighted sorrows
Loss, her companion
Her memories, filled with love
The pain, hers to bear
When darkness threatens
She wields the brightest of lights
Searching for justice
Tag: justice
Justice
No justice ’round here
No fairness or equity
Only exclusion
Life ain’t fair, pardner
Pull up your big girl britches
No whining allowed.
This brave new world lacks
Compassion and forgiveness
Callous survival
The Struggle is Zeal
Libras seek balance
In a world where there is none
Struggle is futile
Zealously defend
What the universe demands
Jealously protects
Still we soldier on
Weighing effort against time
Feigning sacrifice.
Whose Psalm?
who will speak for justice,
whose conscience won’t be calmed,
who feels the anger justified,
who leans upon the Psalms?
yea, though I walk
through the valley
of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
for thou art with me.
whose spirit recognizes truth
whose words and deeds combine
whose life reflects the Word
who fears not, but loves sublime?
Pledge
if we pledge allegiance
to this tri-colored fabric
and all for which it stands
then we need to acknowledge
that the truth of our words
is not always in evidence.
remember that bit at the end?
that part that proclaims
liberty and justice for ALL?
inclusive words in an
exclusionsary world.
our pledge should instead
reflect that we are a
work in progress:
striving for liberty
fighting for justice.
only when every member
of this society
regardless of color, gender,
sexual orientation, or
religious creed feels the
truth of this pledge
will the words,
“with liberty and justice for all”
have meaning.
Peace, People!
