Requiem for Justice
See the majesty
of law abused, and used
To beat and
kill the innocent; see the word
That was to
truth convey lie instead,
And obstruct
the justice it was meant to bring.
So is justice
raped when children are
Put in jail,
when families are ripped apart,
When penalty
know no penance, nor
Mercy its child
– then is freedom stolen!
These men and
women seek its whole destruction,
And build in
awful construction a new tower,
And the columns
that were raised to justice house,
Are now razed,
her ashes scatted, for the thrones of criminals.
It is they who
hijacked her august crown
And scepter,
the rod that kept the races quiet
And protected
the poorest of the nation – these now
They use to
press, and harness the masses in slavery.
Thus the coin
that could not buy the air of heaven
Nor water of
ocean, nor shower of rain, nor
Piece of land
buys the thing by God’s Will
And Blood
denied to Satan’s hand: free human will.
You, the evil
servants doth the Savior’s glory
Mire in your
filth and pure corruption!
But wait, you
proud villains, you fools by the power
That is not
your own made numb and stupid.
For I am the
voice crying out in the desert,
The voice that
proclaims the holy jubilee,
And manumission
to the men bound by fear,
The women bound
by tears, and children by manacles of money.
Behold in my
hand the standard of Christ,
And in my word
the authority of Truth,
For I was
called to bring the nations to the Lord,
And make them
worthy of His steps among us again!
Therefore I
say: arise, you holy penitents!
Arise, and let
your life engender life lost
But in this
world, and not the world above, where
We, the heirs
of God, will build His throne on Justice.
