The Blindfolded Woman Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin
The Blindfolded Woman
I am walking towards a formidable building
With walls encased with bricks and stones,
I see your maidenly form,
Standing tall with your glory.
Elevated above us,
A figure secluded with flowing robe,
A strong and mature woman
Installed right in front of the Justice Hall.
As I gaze into your blindfolded beauty,
I ask thee;
Will the scale in your left hand
Tilt towards me?
Will your right hand strike me
With your double edged sword?
I am just a little guy:
No money,
Not even a single penny.
No real property or personal property,
No family,
Except the Lord Almighty.
How can I win this battle?
It is a clash of wits,
Gold and guns.
My opponent is fully equipped
With an array of legal luminaries,
While I, being a destitute man,
I am defended with one.
I am nobody.
But I will present my case:
With indisputable evidence,
Without fear,
Imbued with ardor,
Leave no stone unturned,
That they may weigh,
Know, consider and understand,
That I am innocent.
And if the Blindfolded Woman
Tilts her scale of justice
Favorable to my adversary,
Metes out justice
Through her sword against me
She then pierced
The very piece of me.
But I shall not be deterred.
I will fight!
As long as blood
Flows in me.
As long as this heart of mine
Never falters to beat.
As long as there is a strand of hope
That flickers in the
Darkness of the night.
I will appeal my case
To the One Above,
The Final Arbiter
Of all.
In Him, I am sure
The verdict will be in my favor.
For I am innocent.
He is God of Justice
He will not punish the righteous
He will not acquit the wicked.

' I will appeal......of all' - True indeed! Liked the poem
In Him, I am sure The verdict will be in my favor. For I am innocent. He is God of Justice He will not punish the righteous He will not acquit the wicked..... I love these lines. Nice theme. Beautiful poem shared. Thanks for sharing.
Lady Justice, as you observed on one of my poems, is a blindfolded. Yes. HE who remains the sole authority of all causes and effects would decide. I admire your frank and honest disposition towards law, actions, justice and society. A great poem Rose Marie. Congrats 10+
The injustices of this world abound and confound. The concept of justice is man-made, so it must by its nature be imperfect. A well written poem. Thank you for your comments. I appreciate them all.
I will appeal my case To the One Above, The Final Arbiter Of all......................earnestly expressed! A brilliant work.........................10
Even if he is denied justice by the court of law, by the blindfolded lady, he is not discouraged or ready to give up. He knows that at least at the end he will be meted out justice by the Supreme Judge who sees every heart and from whom nothing can be concealed. A poem of great diction and lofty thoughts! Top marks!
