Justice

a poem by Satish Kakri

Justice remains the greatest means
For any society to keep honest and clean.
Illustrious ruler ensures justice to his subjects
Importance to justice; his rule reflects.

Just implementation of the laws of land,
Without interference of the prejudiced hand
Is not an endeavour, easy to secure
For any political system to endure.

Humans abound in human error
The cruel inflicts the reign of terror.
Arduous it is to remain humane and kind
Power corrupts the best human mind.

Nature’s justice is different from man’s world
The fittest survives; the weak, to its doom, is hurled.

Which, then, is the justice right
Staying straight above and shining bright?
Transcendental justice is rare to find.
Faith only in Almighty’s justice gives solace to mind.

Justice, though, relative to time and space
Remains an ideal pursuit for the human race.
