Light Of Justice Poem by Barry Middleton

Light Of Justice



I wandered in the dark and dismal night,
and wondered at the beauty of the stars.
I pondered cruelty on the planet Earth,
and desolation on the planet Mars.
Perhaps the bleak infinity of space,
reveals the soul of justice and of peace.
Far from the prison of our mortal flesh,
we yet may find the freedom of release.
But do not wait for gods to show the way;
for it is taught in every faith and school.
The prophets and the mystics lit the lamp,
that glows within a simple golden rule.
And when humanity applies that rule,
the light of justice, peace and righteousness,
still has a chance to burn within our hearts,
and deep within our human consciousness.
