Why Justice is Blind: It Must Not See Its Actions (A Lawyer's Haiku)

A terrible craft

Enforcing what some deserve

The job never ends

Clocking in each day

To process sins of others

Going home after

Enjoying freedom

An iron fist we possess

Flaming sword in hand

Always in the past

So it boldly continues

To guide the future

Reading the old books

Invoking the principles

In Fairness we trust

"Look at what you did.

You must be punished for that.

No excuses here."

The simple truth is

Our game has never been fair

And it never will

Freedom isn't fair

A society of laws

Enslaves souls *for good*

Justice must be blind

Cannot glance a reflection

Lest it be judged too
