Law(79) Poem by VAIDYANATHAN.T. RAM
Law(79)
Different Kinds of Laws,
Different Kinds of Chapters,
Different kinds of sections,
Different kinds of Amendments,
Different kinds of Penal code,
Different kinds Of accused,
Different kinds of punishments,
Different kinds of lawyers,
Different kinds of justice,
Different kinds of protection forces,
Somewhere in the corner of this world,
It is the people who violate traffic rules.
But obeying Traffic rules protects from accident.
It is the people who offer bribe,
But offering the bribe, it makes other person to do mistake,
It is the people casting the vote for money,
But voting for money, Destroys the welfare of poverty
It is the people expecting for freebies,
But expecting for freebies,
Gives a chance to some politicians to do mistakes.
Sometimes, Somewhere, Somehow,
The justice is missing.
Sometimes, somewhere, Somehow,
The Law is missing.
Sometimes, Somewhere, somehow,
The protection of citizens is missing.
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
The Discipline of the law is missing.
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
The bribe is in force.
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
Till, dowry harassment continues.
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
Till, The theft of others property continues.
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
Till, The Rape continues.
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
Till, Killing the life's continues.
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
Till, voting for money continues.
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
Till, child labour continues.
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
Till, The child abuse continues.
Sometimes, somewhere, somehow,
Destroying the environment continues.
Therefore,
The Law is Getting Destroyed,
When Law is Destroyed,
The protection of citizen is destroyed,
When protection of citizen is destroyed,
The Economy is destroyed.
When Economy is destroyed,
The welfare of the people is destroyed.
Law, rule of law. law of the land, customs, conventions, precedents, origin of law.jurisprudence, justice, natural law, contract....... are interesting terms for law students.For a common man, he has no concern about these factors. He is struggling for earning his bread. I will not eat cake till others have bread...! thanks for sharing your vision on justice.
My friend Ram. You have properly and rightfully discerned the purpose of 'law'. Where there is more than one person, we find the need for 'laws' or some form of contracting agreement. All relationships demand some form of covenant, contract, or code of conduct. However, 'laws' alone cannot properly and adequately govern people. What is also required is 'love'. Love and Law must go hand in hand. Laws tell me what I'm required to do. Love enables me to do what I am required to do.
All should be independent! Laws are just precaution to make all not to indulge in crimes. Law is there for life; but life is not for law, because all love freedom. All if follow conscience, there is no need for law. Law is not followed because of change of time and needs more reforms to honour people's freedom. Nothing should interfere in the liberty of individual wishing to mind one's own business sans any help from govt.
Law is there in every country but as you have rightly analysed, the laws in each country is different. In India we have different kinds of personal laws for the Hindus and the Muslims, though the Indian Penal Code and the Constitutional law is the common law for all citizens of India. Though i qualified to become a lawyer, i practised in the court only for a day. My life i have dedicated to the dance form of Kerala namely Mohiniattam. Is there justice in law courts? Ideally, there should be justice. But as you have nicely put in your poem Sometimes, Somewhere, Somehow, The justice is missing. Sometimes, somewhere, Somehow, The Law is missing. Sometimes, Somewhere, somehow, The protection of citizens is missing. Well Done Ram! Full Marks!
An insightful piece of work dear poet... I sincerely appreciate the thought contents.....10
A society needs laws to to run the day to day affairs of life. But the law enforcers are the first to break the laws. They think they are above all laws. As far as justice is concerned it's always delayed and a delayed justice is denied justice. A nice thoughtful poem.
Today a common man feels that justice is denied from their lives as the culprit is set off free due to lack of proofs. Its really difficult to get justice as it takes long time and by that time the justice seeker himself might have died. Thought provoking write. Loved reading it.

Profoundly written...I'm not that kind of knowledgeable about Law but in my own opinion, there's a big difference between Law and Justice. Strongly agree with Sir @Curtis Johnson, Both are nonsense without Love...Thank you dear poet, Ram... A big 10
