Blind Justice (The One Who Grievances First Is Right) Poem by Afzal Shauq

Even though...
They presented to court
the blood stained Knife
The tool of slaying
Leaving the man a corpse.

With all the evidence
There is no conviction
Justice for the dead denied
Shouts arise pleading...
Yet the judge remains deaf.
