#justice Poem by Ragy Sandid

#justice



You'd think when the world was born
An oath to humans was sworn
That where so ever they shall find
That's what's shared will forever bind

Water-a-plenty was water for all
And whatever stands tall and from it will fall
Will be given to those who surround the well
Because if all can eat then all can live well

Then with man's hand a fence was built
To surround what is for all to with a goofed gild
And in the circle were the ones who looked out
And ones out of it thought what is that all about

So were born the rich who claimed allotted land
Bought and sold souls on debt and credit demand
Suddenly laws were made to protect the poor
From the rich's reach making them poorer than before

Is the sky that rains meant to send rain for one?
Is the land the looms loot one that is not under the sun?
Yet when faced how brother undermines brother
Under the same roof and more similar than any other

The denial is good fences that made good neighbors
Have now grown far and wide with extensive labor
Now the faint call comes from faint tropical forests
Justice seeks justice because its laborers its labor detests
