Blind Justice

When poor litigants are over burdened with the byproducts of a slow sluggish justice delivery system they ultimately end up with no relief specially in the playground of riches..

1 

Written in a pale piece of paper, 

neglected and ignored for years 

how many criss-cross it passes through 

before it knocks the door! 

Just about to enter, turned down 

waits for another day afresh 

tries to slip, tries too deep, but fails. 

Ultimately learns to wait silently. 

At times it cries but hammered. 

All fades away till the door opens 

torn, mutilated and crawls into, 

stands mute when it's supposed to shout. 

None applies mind into such nonsense, 

finally dumped by the blinds. 

2 

When nonsense facts stand up 

the confused monsters play. 

For mean less poor it's tough 

relief is kept at bay. 

Hierarchy of masters structured well 

strong & firm to ring the bell. 

Wounded men groans in pain, 

much hurried but missed the train. 

Justice justice all the way 

but relief is kept at bay.

The system is broken and no one person can fix it. A sad statement, but a reality nonetheless.

I enjoyed the personification of law in the first section as it went thru "the system". At first bold and inspired, willing to do its great deed for the people,,,and ultimately failing thru no fault of its own.

The written law per se is blind with respect to the social standing but it is authorities who are called to apply and protect the law who know the difference and who know how to circumvent the laws. As they say, justice delayed is justice denied.

very true.. thanks for your review :)

Justice should be served for the rich and the poor equally. But unfortunately it does not happen that way in so many countries. Like you have said it should be blind. But in some countries it sees the cash...Bravo.................

[Jewel Chanda]

Yes Sami it is true.. inspite of all effort from every possible angle we are still unable to provide justice for all but only in paper and in the codes of constitution...

[Sami Khalil]

Yep. You are welcome...:)..................

Justice justice all the way
but relief is kept at bay.... that's pretty interesting to scream out loud! Justice's blind for long since the human civilization born so, your this poem to the tea well themed with the great words. Your rhyme's not that bad either.

Keep writing!
