The Call

“Though justice be thy plea”
Proclaimed in high places
Among tribunals with sparkling robes
Though men might flea with or without true justice

What about thee
That justice hasn’t been proclaimed by
Among tribunals with sparkling robes

Justice needed by children in Iraq
Justice needed by people in war
We are fighting for justice and peace for all
But no man is answering the call

Well done! Your poem is really good in that it makes one feel the need for justice. I really enjoyed the essay on the courtroom scene - it made me feel inspired about the fact that we all want justice but, we fail the systems. It is interesting to note that you also believe that justice is there but, people fail it.

Thanks for the wonderful work.
