A Strange Justice Poem by Afzal Shauq

A Strange Justice

Rating: 4.3


The one
who is supposed to
give me justice has
amazingly declared her heart
as a court,
she herself as a judge to hear,
her brain as a lawyer to plea,
herself witnesses to prove,
even then
her decisions are also based on
the rules and regulations
mentioned in the black book of law,
she constructed herself
as per her own willingness too.

Tragic. For what is justice if not fairness. What is fair if not balanced. The poem is an advocate of freedom for this who seeks real justice dispensed.
