The Travesty Of Justice Poem by Ramesh Joshi

The Travesty of Justice.

Themis, goddess of Justice,
uncermoniously, driven out
citadel, her robes stripped
honourered veil, one respect.

stripped off her power, once
conscience prevailed, once, it
now seems dead, and eye, ear
blind and dumb, silence bewail.

Men, now beasts, lost in sense,
sensitive to insensibility turned.
'foul is fair and fair foul', the voice
OfJustice mocked, murderedmourn.

Truth, honest sincerity, kindness
now convicted, in dock stand for
mercy petition, to save their soul
from danger waiting in for appeal.
