Lady Justice
She stands on the
hill
The sun bears down on
her
Sweat trickles down
her face
Scales she has
guarded for so long
Keeping the Balance
Between Justice and
Mercy
Equal and unfettered
Today she removes the
blind
Screams and cries of
the oppressed
Pray for Justice for
those who hurt them
Mercy for them so
that they can find relief
The weight of their
cries
Tipping the scales in
their favor
She views the world
She raises the sword
The weight of what
she will do
Unbearable yet she
knows she must follow
The one who’s will
she guards closest
His angel offers
encouragement
She lifts the sword
Letting the scales
fall free
Gripped tightly in
both hands
She lifts the sword
high
Between her hands
Feet placed apart
She trembles then
tears begin to fall
She strikes the
ground
Engulfing the world
in Flames
She hears the cries
of the wicked
Some she knows
Some she does not
Hears their surprise
Hears their anguish
As the flames envelop
them
Searing the pain away
For those who begged
For relief from their
tormentors
She weeps her blind
forgotten
Her sword crashes to
the ground
The scales are broken at
her feet
She weeps for the
world
