The Judiciary is the firmest pillar
And the last resort of people
For the protection
Of their rights.
When this pillar
Is eroded by corruption
The collapse of democracy
Is inevitable.
Corruption promotes
Moral degradation in a society
And when a country is hit
By this great menace
The core of its heart ceases to beat.
The people cry
Like a Roaring Dragon
Marching under the intense heat of the sun
Marching in heavy storm rains
Their angry steps dig holes
On the isles and curves of streets
Raising their fists in the air
With combined voices
That move the unmoved
And rouse the sleeping souls.
A country of chaos
A country of despair
A country which hope
Has been extinguished
In the darkest of the night
A country which dreams
Have been beaten
And blown away by the furious winds.

Once again I pay a revisit to this amazing powerful poem about ultimate corruption. This is such a truest reality in our today's world. The great Poetess did this with a fervent and powerful honesty. This poem is still in my Poems List. TFS
Yes judicial system is for our protection and goog but it always lies on proof business and as t times does get allured to. Good poetic composition.
A beautiful take on the judicial journey we all create in our mind. A profound impression of what really governs our life and how they are polluted.
